Samaras made his comments after Papandreou briefed Greek President Karolos Papoulias of his plan for a multi-party government that would implement the rescue package devised by European leaders late last month, the Journal said.
“I will do whatever I can to help form a coalition government. The Oct. 26 decisions and obligations stemming from this are a condition for the country remaining in the euro,” Papandreou reportedly said, also in nationally-televised remarks.
The prime minister survived a confidence vote in parliament after pledging to form a new coalition government aimed at winning broader public support for a bailout package for Greece, according to reports late Friday.
Papandreou used the vote, held early Saturday in Athens, to call for general elections as early as February. The 59-year-old leader is not expected to head the new interim government, which reports have said could be led by Greek Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos.
so much for sovereignty, and a warning to all nations.
