Greek Opposition Leader Renews Calls For PM To Quit
Georges Papandreou told a PASOK party meeting that Karamanlis's center-right government "ignores the calls of society, is incapable of steadily driving the country towards change and is afraid of the people."
The government "is wasting away, collapsing and dissolving into a dead-end... its political time is finished," he added.
Papandreou has been a consistently vocal critic of the government since police shot dead a 15-year-old boy on December 6, sparking riots across the country.
Karamanlis said last Friday that he had no intention of quitting and ruled out calling fresh elections.
"Greece currently has a strong government," he told reporters on the sidelines of a European Union summit in Brussels last week.
