Papandreou was on the ropes Friday, after some of his own MPs said they might vote against him after he announced -- and then withdrew -- plans for a referendum on whether to approve a second bailout of 130 billion euros from the EU-IMF-ECB Troika and the austerity measures that come with it.
Papandreou je u petak bio na rubu opstanka, nakon što su neki zastupnici iz njegove stranke izjavili kako bi mogli glasovati protiv njega, nakon što je objavio -- a potom povukao -- planove za referendum o tome treba li odobriti drugi paket spasa od Trojke EU-MMF-ECB i mjere štednje koje dolaze s njim.
