Nikiforos Diamantouros a Greek ombudsman is rumored to be the new temporary prime minister of Greece until February 19,where it is likely that Greece will have elections. Antonis Samaras leader of the centre-right "democratic" party,refuse to cooperate with George Papanderou (ex-)prime minister and leader of PASOK.
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou and opposition leader Antonis Samaras, who met late Sunday for talks on a future coalition government, announced early on Monday that Papandreou would resign from his post and immediate elections will be held.
The two major political parties -- Papandreou's PASOK party and the opposition New Democracy party -- who agreed to set up a coalition government, announced that early elections could be tentatively scheduled for Feb 19, 2012, the finance ministry said.
The new prime minister's candidacy is yet to be agreed, but Deputy Prime Minister Evangelos Venizelos, who is also the finance minister, will keep his post.
Greek media named three people as possible candidates to succeed Papandreou. All of them served as the country's representatives in the European Union.
The possible successors are former vice president of the European Central Bank Lukas Papademos, European Ombudsman Nikiforos Diamandouros and former European commissioner Stavros Dimas.
The name of the new prime minister is expected to be announced later on Monday.
International pressure and a looming collapse of his government last week forced Papandreou to abandon his plans to hold the referendum on the new 130-billion-euro ($179 billion) rescue package for Greece, which was approved by euro zone leaders Oct 26.
Without loans from EU and IMF lenders, which have been frozen over political uncertainty, Greece may default on its 360-billion-euro ($495 billion) debt in the coming weeks, media reports said.

KKE's announcement about the ND-PASOK coalition goverment
The safeguarding of the 6th instalment is the pretext to justify the formation of an open coalition government of PASOK-ND and other parties of the system. This is the demand of the Greek plutocracy and the EU. Their goal is not to save the people but to subjugate them and to lead them to the even greater massacre of the loan agreement and the memoranda of bankruptcy. In any case the people can see with their own eyes the naked and blatant interventions of the leaders of the EU and other mechanisms of capital, in harmony with the parties of the “EU one-way-street”, something which the KKE for a long time has exposed.
In opposition to this extremely hostile alliance of the bourgeois parties the people must pose right now their own popular alliance and counterattack to erect obstacles and ruin their reactionary plans. This open governmental alliance shows their difficulties and fear in relation to the people, their emancipation and organization.
The people must trust the KKE and see clearly where their interests and prospects lie, so that they can reject the blackmail and threats of the Greek bourgeois class and its parties which are attempting to transform their own dead-ends into intimidating dilemmas for the people.
The capitalist crisis in Greece and the Eurozone is deepening, the competition inside and outside the EU is sharpening, and for this reason their parties and mechanisms are escalating their war against the peoples. The people should not be afraid of the EU, the monopolies, on the contrary it must utilise their crisis, their contradictions to fight them. The KKE appeals to the poor popular strata which up to now have voted for ND and PASOK to ally with it. We must not waste any time.
No waiting, no toleration. People’s vigilance.
Right now the salaried workers, the self-employed, the poor farmers, the youth must raise their heads up decisively in the work places and sectors, in the popular neighbourhoods, proclaiming their determination to put an end to the sacrifices for the profits of capital, the protection of the EU and the Euro.
