Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and opposition leader Antonis Samaras
have agreed on a new coalition government to approve a euro zone bailout
deal before elections, the office of the country's president said on Sunday.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----
The agreement came after the two leaders held talks with the president in an
effort to break a political deadlock and thrash out a deal for a national
unity government demanded by the country's European partners.
A presidency statement said they will meet again on Monday to discuss who
would head the coalition government, but that Papandreou would not lead the
new administration.
"Tomorrow there will be new communication between the prime minister and the
opposition leader on who will be the leader of the new government," the
statement said.
The statement made no mention of how long the interim government would last.
The European Union gave Greece 24 hours on Sunday to explain how it will
form a unity government to enact a bailout agreement.
Papandreou and his opponents have been scrambling to hammer out a deal ahead
of a meeting by finance ministers of euro countries on Monday, to show that
Greece is serious about taking steps needed to stave off bankruptcy.
Papandreou Will Step Down
"It is clear that this government will pass the baton but it will not pass
it to a void — it will pass it to a new government, if we agree on it, and
I hope this will happen soon. And when I say soon, I mean today, not
tomorrow," Papandreou said in the text of remarks to his cabinet, released
to the media.
"I'm not interested in being prime minister in the new government," he said.
The EU has made clear it wants a unity government in Greece to ensure
consensus support for reform and restore confidence after a week that saw
Papandreou first call for a referendum on the bailout and then backtrack
under international pressure.
European Economic and Monetary Affairs Commissioner Olli Rehn told Reuters
that finance ministers from countries that use the single currency would
insist on hearing a plan for a unity government from their Greek colleague
Evangelos Venizelos at Monday's meeting in Brussels.
"We have called for a national unity government and remain persuaded that it
is the convincing way of restoring confidence and meeting the commitments,"
he told Reuters. "We need a convincing report on this by Finance Minister
Venizelos tomorrow in the Eurogroup."
As Greece's political drama twisted and turned by the hour, Papandreou and
conservative opposition leader Antonis Samaras met the president for talks
on Sunday evening. This followed a request from the prime minister for a
three-way meeting to explore the possibility of an agreement.
"Everything must be done within the day, otherwise tomorrow it will be hell,
" said Telemachos Hitiris, a senior lawmaker in Papanderou's socialist party
PASOK.
Any new coalition will have three immediate tasks: pushing the euro zone
bailout through parliament, completing a bond swap which will halve the
value of private creditors' Greek state debt holdings, and passing the 2012
budget.
But it is likely to govern for only a few months, too short a time to finish
carrying out reforms demanded by the EU and IMF to make the Greek economy
more efficient and competitive.
Earlier, the conservative opposition offered to cooperate in forming a
national unity government provided that Papandreou stood aside after two
years at the helm.
A Breach of Confidence
In a telephone interview, Rehn said Papandreou's proposed referendum had
breached confidence with Greece's euro zone partners and put Athens on a
path towards leaving the common currency, but Greece now appeared to be
pulling back from the brink.

Vote of ConfidenceItaly Could Be Next Focus for Markets
Papandreou had sought the referendum to show that harsh cuts demanded in the
bailout had public support, but the risk that a "no" vote could bring about
a sudden bankruptcy caused mayhem in markets and defections in the ruling
party, plunging his country into political as well as economic crisis.
Under heavy pressure from home and abroad, Papandreou ditched the referendum
and narrowly survived a confidence vote, but only after promising to seek a
new broad-based coalition.
Early on Sunday, the left and right had seemed far apart and any coalition
deal between Papandreou's PASOK socialists and the conservative New
Democracy a distant prospect.
But the EU pressure appeared to start working. With the cabinet due to meet
later on Sunday, Hitiris said explicitly what Papandreou had signalled in
parliament on Friday.
"Papandreou will resign once the new prime minister is selected," he told
state NET TV. "We only have to wait for the prime minister's announcements
in the cabinet."
'Torturing the Greek People'
In the hunt for a national consensus, President Papoulias met the
conservative opposition leader on Sunday.
"This uncertainty that is torturing the Greek people must end. We must find
a solution," Papoulias said before starting closed-door talks with New
Democracy leader Antonis Samaras.
Samaras said he was ready for compromise but only with a new prime minister.
"I am determined to help. Provided that Papandreou resigns, everything will
take its course," he said after the talks.
The bailout deal aims to save Greece from bankruptcy and to prevent its
problems tipping much bigger euro zone economies such as Italy and Spain
into full-blown crisis.
Greeks have staged strikes and protests, some of them violent, against pay
and pensions cuts, combined with higher taxes, demanded by the international
lenders.
But the state is due to run out of money in December, when it has big debt
repayments to meet, and by then needs the sixth, 8 billion euro, instalment
of its existing EU/IMF bailout package. Germany and France have said it will
not get a cent unless it has signed on to the new bailout terms.
A senior New Democracy official said Samaras was willing to negotiate a
government of politicians, rather than one comprising technocrats, if
Papandreou stepped aside. Party sources said he was under pressure from his
own lawmakers, who feared the consequences if they were left out of a
coalition.
Having demanded snap elections, he might be willing to discuss a date later
than his preferred early December vote.
The source made no mention of who might lead the government but New
Democracy is unlikely to accept any top member of the ruling PASOK party
such as Venizelos.

这还算利好吗?
本来大家关心的是欧债救助细节,资金来源。现在G20没有人肯给钱,就看欧洲如何解
决资金问题了。希腊的事情是凭空造出来的。
