Foot-dragging by Papandreou's socialist government to convince Greek society that the latest austerity measures, tax hikes, accelerated reforms and privatisations are imperative to stave off bankruptcy exacerbated the gloomy forecasts about the economy in the eurozone and beyond.
Odugovlačenje Papandreuove socijalističke vlade da ubedi grčko društvo da su najnovije mere štednje, povećanje poreza, ubrzane reforme i privatizacije imperativ da bi se izbegao stečaj, pogoršalo je tmurne prognoze o ekonomiji u evrozoni i šire.
