THE GREEK PRESIDENT Karolos Papoulias is to convene a meeting between the country’s embattled prime minister and the head of the main opposition party in an attempt to broker power-sharing talks and find a way out of a severe political crisis, as pressure mounts to ensure the country avoids bankruptcy.
The president’s office said the meeting would be held at 6.30pm (GMT) Sunday with the premier, George Papandreou, and opposition head Antonis Samaras.
Papandreou survived a confidence vote in his government Saturday, and has said he will step aside if agreement can be reached on the formation of an interim government that will secure a new European debt deal for Greece. Conservative opposition leader Samaras has set Papandreou’s resignation as a condition for participating in any talks.

Yeh the Germans will jump at that one alright
NEDISY (Fina Fail of Greece) wrecked the country and George and his party are under the wreck now…
We have a really good guy with figures maybe he could help grease. Bertie may not have had a bank account and lived in a bedsit but he apparently was well qualified according to the cert he produced. I think it was one of the FAS Certs for accountancy that we’re given out by some relative of the board member of FAS who was appointed by FF. anyway he is available for a brown envelope.
How pathetic is is that every conversation gets turned around to include Bertie,
We also have another guy called Cardiff who would love to help with the bad figures in Greece. He can count it to 10 don’t let him near millions and certainly not billions as he gets confused – all that said we promoted him and look how well we are now doing.
It’s actually ‘Karolos Padoulias’ not ‘Caralos’. :)
Oops, my mistake. Thanks Evan!
