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.
Papandreu je u petak bio na ivici opstanka, nakon što su neki poslanici iz njegove stranke rekli da bi mogli da glasaju protiv njega kada je najavio -- a potom povukao -- planove za referendum o tome da li odobriti drugi paket spasa od trojke EU-MMF-ECB i mere štednje koje dolaze sa njim.
