Evangelos Venizelos left the Greek defense ministry to begin what he called the “real battle” as finance minister in Prime Minister George Papandreou’s fight to stave off default.
“For those political powers that accept the European course for the country, points of agreement are many and the points of discord remarkably small,” said Venizelos, who was sworn in as minister today. “Our first priority is the sustainability of the public debt. It is a subject on which there hasn’t been any disagreement.”
