ATHENS, Greece - February 5, 2012 - Lucas Papademos, the Greek premier, failed to make party leaders accept harsh terms in return for a second 130 billion euro bailout, pushing Athens closer to a disorderly default as early as next month.

Greek television reported that Papademos has set a deadline of midday on Monday for the three leaders to let him know whether they agree in principle with the proposed austerity measures, before he meets them again later in the day.

After five hours of discussions, the three leaders of Greece’s national unity government had not accepted demands by international lenders for immediate deep spending cuts and labour market reforms as part of a new medium-term package.

Papademos said the political leaders had agreed on some basic issues, including making spending cuts this year of 1.5 percentage points of gross domestic product, or about 3 billion euros, according to a statement from his office.

George Karatzaferis, the head of the small right wing Laos (People’s) Party said as he left the prime minister’s office, that he expected the talks to continue on Monday. There was no immediate announcement by Papademos.
