Papoulias in Last-Ditch Coalition Effort

Greek President Karolos Papoulias has called the leaders of Greeceā€™s political parties to meetings on Sunday, in a last-ditch effort to broker a deal for a coalition government.
“The president will summon party leaders in a bid to form a government that will enjoy the backing of the parliamentary body that emerged from general elections on May 6,” the president’s office said.
The leaders of the conservative, socialist and radical leftist parties, who all failed to form a government this week, will see Papoulias at 12pm, and the president will subsequently meet with heads of smaller parties, including the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn, Papoulias’ office said Saturday.
No schedule was given for the follow-up meetings.Ā If the parties cannot compromise by next Thursday, new elections will have to be called in June.
