Speaking after precincts had closed Sunday, Papandreou said he wouldn't declare an early election after all, with top ministers and the government spokesman subsequently explaining that results proved voters backed the government's tough austerity programme and reforms.
U svom govoru posle zatvaranja biračkih mesta u nedelju, Papandreu je rekao da ipak neće predložiti vanredne izbore, a najistaknutiji ministri i portparol vlade su nakon toga objasnili da su rezultati pokazali da birači podržavaju vladin oštar program štednje i reforme.
