Papademos, a former ECB vice-president, was appointed in November and is overseeing a wobbly coalition of holdover ministers from the former ruling PASOK Socialists and their bitter rival New Democracy conservatives, who expelled 43 of their members for voting against the package, as the far Right-Wing LAOS party defected from the government.
Papademos, bivši potpredsednik ECB, došao je na funkciju u novembru i vodi nestabilnu koaliciju ministara preostalih iz bivše vlade socijalističke stranke PASOK i iz stranke koja je njen žestoki rival konzervativne Nove demokratije, koja je isključila 43 svoja člana jer su glasali protiv paketa, dok je stranka krajnje desnice LAOS u određenoj meri odstupila od vlade.
