Izbjegavanje ponavljanja decembarske bune pokazalo se uspješnim za nedavno izabranu vladu Georgea Papandreoua, u vrijeme kad su EU i finansijska tržišta duboko zabrinuti za dvocifreni budžetski deficit Grčke i njen naglo rastući javni dug kao bona fide prijetnju stabilnosti eurozone.
The avoidance of a repeat December uprising proved a success for the recently elected government of George Papandreou, at a time when EU and finance markets are deeply concerned about Greece's double-digit budget deficit and ballooning public debt as a bona fide threat to euro-zone stability.
