Communists Eye Power In Greece Crisis Deepens
In Athens the pro-Communist EDA emerges as a pivotal force as Papandreou’s Center Union loses its parliamentary majority. With 22 EDA votes in play and defections to King Constantine’s side, experts expect Papandreou to seek EDA support for a confidence vote amid a tense political showdown. The funeral march for a leftist riot victim highlighted EDA influence as street demonstrators were kept under control. Papandreou warned EDA would back the opposition when the confidence vote occurs, risking the new government’s survival.
