Greece in final bid to avoid fresh elections

  • 12 years ago
A final attempt to form a coalition government in Greece now lies with the President.

In a last ditch effort, Karolas Papoulias is to meet the leaders of political parties on Sunday to try to put together an emergency administration.

If he fails, Greeks will be going back to the polls for the second time in weeks.
