Support for Makis Keravnos in Herodotus' Candidacy

Former Central Bank Governor Konstantinos Herodotou was among the final two candidates for the presidency of the European Banking Authority. The Minister of Finance, Makis Keravnos, actively supports his candidacy, communicating with his colleagues in Brussels. Despite Herodotou finishing second to the French candidate, Francois-Louis Michaud, his good performance in the European Parliament kept the process open. However, France is pushing for the position to be given to a French candidate, making the undertaking difficult.
