In all likelihood the current president of the Greek Parliament, Filippos Petsalnikos, will head the transitional government of the Greek country.

It was the outgoing premier himself who put an end to the affair, George Papandreou, who, officially resigning, declared on live TV: "Despite the diversity of opinion we have formed a new government. The political forces of Greece have reached an agreement to bring the country out of the crisis”.

However, the now former prime minister has not yet indicated who will be his successor, limiting himself to saying: “I wish the new prime minister every success as well as his government. Greece will do everything to stay in the euro”. A meeting with the President of the Republic is scheduled for the evening Karolos Papulias to propose the name. Which exactly should be that of Petsalnikos.
