French newspaper Liberation makes an extensive report on the Greek economic crisis and what happened to the world’s markets after the Greek Prime minister’s decision for a referendum. The referendum will ask Greeks if they want to participate in last week’s European debt plan.
George Papandreou’s announcement spooked investors, who feared a public vote would jeopardize the carefully-crafted deal.
Sources report that French President Nicola Sarkozy is rather irritated with Mr.Papandreou’s “irrational” decision. He said that Greek Prime Minister’s announcement “surprised all of Europe.”.
International media mostly support Liberation’s cover with articles criticizing Papandreou’s decision for a referendum.
Spiegel surprised Greeks positively with an article -reaction to the Greek PM’s decision titled: Papandreou Is Right to Let the Greeks Decide.
