Greece’s moderate Democratic Left party will withdraw from the coalition government, one of the party’s ministers confirmed on Friday after a week-long crisis sparked by the shock closure of the country’s state broadcaster.
“Following the party’s decision to withdraw from the government and withdraw its ministers I will table my resignation to the prime minister,” outgoing administrative reform minister Antonis Manitakis told reporters.
