In the interview, titled “Reinvigorating Greece is an Olympian task,” concerning the reactions to the austerity measures, the premier admits that “naturally I feel very bad that we had to take these measures and that our financial sovereignty is under the tutelage of the so-called troika (the EU, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank).”
“It’s not a happy state to be in, and the most painful thing is to take measures against people who were not responsible for the crisis,” Papandreou said. He goes on to explain that the option for the country was to default, or take these measures.Filed under: Economy, European Union, Government, Greece, Greek Prime Minister, International Relations, Media, Politics | Tagged: austerity, Bank, Central, crisis, Current Affairs, decisions, default, Economy, EU, Europe, European, financial, Fund, George, Government, Greece, Guardian, International, Interview, πρωθυπουργός, πτώχευση, πολιτική, συνέντευξη, τρόϊκα, Έλληνας, Ένωση, Γιώργος, Διαχείριση, Διεθνές, ΕΕ, Ελλάδα, Ελληνική, Κεντρική, ΜΜΕ, Νομισματικό, Παπανδρέου, Τράπεζα, Ταμείο, αποφάσεις, βρετανική, επιλογή, ευρωπαϊκή, εφημερίδα, κρίση, κυριαρχία, μέτρα, οικονομία, οικονομική, Management, Measures, Media, Minister, Monetary, newspaper, Olympian, option, Papandreou, Politics, premier, Prime, Reinvigorating, sovereignty, task, The, troika, tutelage, UK | Comments Off on PM George Papandreou`s interview in “Guardian”
