Moderate Greek leftists won’t join government without SYRIZA

The leader of Greece's moderate Democratic Left party reaffirmed on Monday that he would not participate in a coalition government with the centre-right New Democracy and the socialist Pasok if the more radical leftist SYRIZA group did not take part, hours ahead of a final round of talks. 

SYRIZA, which came in second in Sunday's inconclusive election, has ruled out taking part in a coalition government with parties that back the EU/IMF bailout, all but ensuring a repeat election in four weeks.
