The austerity measures have created a deep recession and the implosion of the vaunted welfare state that Andreas Papandreou created, and set off 18 months of protests, strikes and riots that drove his son from office in favour of a temporary coalition government.
Mere štednje dovele su do duboke recesije i implozije dugo hvaljene socijalne države koju je stvorio Andreas Papandreu i izazvale proteste, štrajkove i nemire koji traju već 18 meseci i zbog kojih je njegov sin podneo ostavku i povukao se u korist prelazne koalicione vlade.
