Louka Katseli issued a call to Alexis Tsipras and Nikos Androulakis to join forces with their factions, emphasizing that sooner or later ELAS and PASOK will be forced to cooperate.

“It will have to happen one way or another,” the former minister and professor emerita at the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens told Mega, adding, “Will it be possible to form a government? Based on the current situation, no. So, the mandate will be given to the second-place party.”

Why not prepare for this approach early on and ensure this collaboration happens in the best possible way,” she said pointedly.

“We don’t anticipate situations; we manage crises as they erupt. We know that sooner or later there will be a need for cooperation,” he noted next.
