Additionally the PM had the opportunity to meet with student representatives who discussed the students’ accommodation in Ionian University.
At 18:00 p.m the Greek Prime Minister adressed the local representatives and locals at Corfu Palace Hotel in central Corfu. Numerous residents and youth were in attendance. During his speech, Mr. Papandreou stated that: “I prefer this criticism rather than letting Greece go bankrupt. The difficulties are nothing before the consequences of a bankruptcy, particularly for the weaker strata and the middle class … I shall not let Greece collapse; it is my patriotic duty.”
The Premier was accompanied by his wife Anna and a number of ministers and under-secretaries. He left the island late at night.
