Papandreou to step down as party leader
Greece's former prime minister George Papandreou has told his PASOK socialist party that he will step down as party leader and not seek re-election.
Greek prime minister George Papandreou survived a confidence vote, calming a vicious revolt in his Socialist party with an emotional pledge to step aside if necessary and seek a cross-party government lasting four months to safeguard a new European debt agreement.
