Antonis Samaras, head of Greece's main opposition New Democracy party, Saturday renewed his call for early elections and rejected efforts the country's embattled Socialist government to form a bipartisan coalition government.
Mr. Samaras's remarks come after Prime Minister George Papandreou briefed Greek President Karolos Papoulias earlier in the day of his intentions for a cross-party government that would implement a €130 billion ($179 billion) aid package agreed to by European leaders late last month.
