Greek conservative leader Antonis Samaras was sworn in as prime minister Wednesday at the head of a three-party coalition that is tasked with carrying out the country’s harsh European-led bailout.
…..Although New Democracy won the most votes in the elections, it didn’t control enough seats to govern on its own and had to seek coalition partners to control a majority in Greece’s 300-member Parliament. Combined with the forces of the Socialist and the small Democratic Left parties, the coalition will hold 179 seats.
