Upd: Greek Finance Minister in Hospital

Posted by keeptalkinggreece in Uncategorized

Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos was hastily transferred to the hospital on Tuesday morning with abdominal pain, his office announced. Venizelos is still in the Central Clinic in Athens and is expected to remain there until the afternoon. Currently he undergoes several tests. Greek media report of a ”possible infection”. However an official doctors’ statement is due within the next hours.

Last night Venizelos spoke in front of the parliamentary group of ruling party PASOK and later gave interviews on the referendum issue.

UPDATE: According to official doctors’ statements, Venizelos suffers from an inflammation of the Appendix. However there are not plans that he will be operated. Weird, isn’t it?

Venizelos seems to be the third victim of immense pressure and distress. During the EUSummit talks last week, one of Papandreou’s counsellors suffered a heart attack and another one went to hospital with high blood pressure.
