Samaras: Those who want me to resign should say it now

The leader of the main opposition, New Democracy (ND), said on Thursday he’s not planning to resign from his post, but called on party members who want to question his leadership to do it now.
     "I’m not 'married' to my post. But I won’t give up the battle at such a difficult time. I also considered an extraordinary conference, but they [government] would present it as a symptom of a major introversion for our party," Antonis Samaras said at ND’s parliamentary group meeting.
     "If someone believes it is better for the party or the country, one should raise the issue of party president now, and assume the responsibility of activating the statutory procedures you all know," he added.
Samaras claimed any comment by a party official would be used by the government to show ND is fragmented at a crucial time. He went on to announce he will hold a national conference to discuss party policy.

Nonetheless, ND MP Dora Bakoyiannis openly questioned the leadership.
