Prime Minister George Papandreou called on lawmakers from his ruling PASOK party to support an austerity bill to be voted in parliament on Oct. 20.
“We have to be in a strong position for discussions at the European summit talks on Sunday,” Papandreou said today in comments televised live on state-run Vouli TV.
Greece’s European partners have shown support for Greece and Greece understands their concerns, he said.
