"I can sense the agony of the Greek people," opposition leader Antonis Samaras said before the meeting with the president. "Everybody has to act responsibly now and send a message of stability abroad to the people of Europe and the people of our country too."

"I agree completely with your words," Papoulias said. "We should give an end to this sense of insecurity and instability. We should give answers to the questions: where are we going and what are we doing? We are all responsible for that."

Speaking briefly to reporters after the meeting called by the president, Samaras said that once Papandreou resigns, everything will "take its course" and "everything else is negotiable."

If Samaras is on board then its a done deal. The real question is how the citizens will react once it is official passed and austerity measures are made clear.
