The European Broadcasting Union Friday called on Athens to revise its decision to shut down the Greek public radio and television and to resume broadcasts.

The government headed by the Conservative Antonis Samaras said the measure was designed to help save money, and promised the public broadcasters would be reopened, but with smaller staff.

The two Socialist parties in the ruling coalition are disgruntled with not having been consulted, and say they might support early election plans.

Antonis Samaras has announced a meeting of the ruling coalition on Monday, to discuss the crisis generated by the closing of the public radio and television channels, which shocked the public and triggered strong reactions of the international community.
