The conservative New Democracy party headed by Antonis Samaras wants a
snap election and is demanding Papandreou's resignation.
President Karolos Papoulias is expected to meet Samaras at the
presidential residence on Sunday. He will urge Samaras to compromise
in order to overcome the current national crisis, but it remains
uncertain whether the opposition leader will give in.
