This is such a diffcilut situation for the Greek Government; violent protests against austerity measures, some of which have not even been announced yet. Surely, these people realise that something has to be done to redress the situation - it cannot go on as it is. How do they think a solution can be found, unless drastic measures are taken?
These protests are hardly reassuring for Germany and France, both of who have their own financial problems, when assessing the risks involved in making this loan.
Mind you, the Government has to take much of the blame: civil servants paid bonuses for turning up on time, forresters paid bonuses for working outdoors, 40 gardeners employed by an Athens hospital which ahs no gardens.....
