Prime Minister George Papandreou will chair a Cabinet meeting on Monday, where the Medium-Term Fiscal Adjustment Framework will be discussed.
According to reports, final decisions will not be taken on Monday and the package will not be closing in its entirety since negotiations with the Troika experts have not been completed. The negotiations will continue as of Wednesday, when the creditors’ representatives will be returning to Athens.
This does not apply to the sector of privatizations, where decisions are expected to be taken. Finance Minister George Papaconstantinou might also be announcing more privatizations and the appointment of new privatization advisers.
The framework of the Prime Minister’s separate discussions with opposition party leaders on Tuesday is also expected to be discussed at the Cabinet meeting.
Prime Minister George Papandreou will hold a series of meetings with opposition party leaders on Tuesday, after an invitation issued by the Premier himself.
Papandreou will meet with main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras at 10:30 a.m., followed by Popular Orthodox Rally (LAOS) leader George Karatzaferis at noon, and Coalition of the Radical Left (SYRIZA parliamentary alliance) parliamentary group leader Alexis Tsipras at 1:30.
He will then meet with the leaders of the non-parliamentary Democratic Alliance and Democratic Left party leaders Dora Bakoyannis and Fotis Kouvelis at 2:30 and 3:30, respectively.
Communist Party of Greece (KKE) leader Aleka Papariga has rejected Papandreou’s invitation.
