The "make sure it is, of course, the most unmistakable." Cabinet agreed to support the plan.

His power was weakened after a member of parliament from the socialist PASOK party deserted her, leaving her 152 deputies to 300-seat chamber, while others, Vasso Papandreou, called for the establishment of a government of national unity.
