Tsaldaris Forms Fragile Royalist Greek Cabinet
Athens August 30 Greece installed a Royalist Populist cabinet led by Constantin Tsaldaris to replace the toppled Maximos government. The 10 ministers, mostly Populists, were sworn in by Archbishop Damaskinos. Tsaldaris kept the foreign portfolio and may seek a broad coalition, but faces stiff opposition and a slim parliamentary majority. Washington intends a broader base for Greece amid US aid worth 300 million dollars. Lincon MacVeagh and U.S. officials monitor the crisis and Greece’s internal and external problems.
