Q&A: Greece's 'technocratic' government
- Published
Greece's leading political parties have joined forces behind an interim unity government tasked with steering the country through its massive debt crisis.
It is being led by former banker Lucas Papademos, the man credited with taking Greece into the eurozone, and the assumption is that it will be technocratic - a government led by experts, not politicians.
Here we look at some of the issues around this initiative to rescue the eurozone's most financially challenged member state.
What was wrong with the previous government?
Why does the conservative opposition back the new government?
Just how expert is the new cabinet?
No problem mustering a parliamentary majority now?
How will we know the new government is working?
Is this Greek experiment a historic departure?
Is everybody comfortable with having an unelected prime minister?
