______________________________
On Sunday, the Greek Interior Ministry said that the conservative New Democracy (ND) faction is ahead in the pivotal parliamentary election in Greece. A projection released by the Interior Ministry showed that Greece’s two largest pro-bailout parties, ND and PASOK could win enough seats to forge a parliamentary majority, which could keep the debt-laden country in the Eurozone. The projection showed ND taking 29.5 percent, with the radical leftist SYRIZA bloc just behind at 27.1 percent. The socialist PASOK won 12.3 percent of the vote. The head of PASOK, Evangelos Venizelos, proposed that four top parties, including the anti-bailout SYRIZA, form a government of national unity.
