Greek PM in hospital for surgery
Greece’s new prime minister and finance minister are both in hospital, with one undergoing eye surgery and the other remaining hospitalised a day after collapsing.
Prime minister Antonis Samaras was having an operation today to repair the early stages of a detached retina.
The surgery was expected to last an hour.
Finance minister Vassilis Rapanos remains in a private clinic after being rushed to hospital on Friday suffering from intense abdominal pain, nausea, dizziness, sweating and weakness.
The cause of his symptoms was not immediately clear, and he was undergoing tests.
Mr Rapanos, who was named in the post on Thursday, has not been sworn in to office yet.
His swearing in ceremony had been scheduled for Friday evening, but was postponed due to his illness.
