The Greek prime minister has been criticised over his decision to hold referendum over EU bailout package.
This announcement by George Papandreou seems to have come as a surprise even to his cabinet, and a group of parliamentarians from his own party have called for his resignation.
Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull, reporting from Athens, says Papandreou's gamble is not working his way and he may not survive a no-confidence vote on Friday.
