LISBON (Reuters) - Portugal's Communist party is ready to support a government led by the centre-left Socialists, its leader said on Wednesday in what appeared to be a departure for the country's Communists.

"A government solution, which inevitably includes the Socialists, will have our political support, to stop a repeat of this policy (of austerity)," by the centre-right, Communist leader Jeronimo de Sousa told reporters after meeting his Socialist counterpart.
