New York Times: Greece’s Leaders Face a Revolt at Home as They Try to Appease Creditors
BRUSSELS — Greek leaders scrambled on Sunday to come up with a list of proposed changes to the nation’s austerity program that would be acceptable to their creditors by a Monday deadline, even as they faced a revolt by members of their own radical-left party, angered that the government had bent to demands by Brussels.
An 11th-hour deal reached on Friday by Greece and eurozone finance ministers did nothing immediately to reduce the obligations Greece must fulfill to keep a lifeline of cash coming and avoid insolvency for the heavily indebted government.
WNU Editor: A lot of Greeks are not happy with this deal .... 'It's treason!' Greek anger at government u-turn (CNBC). What's my take .... Greece had no choice. No one is going to lend a penny to Greece unless there are strict rules, guidelines, and commitments .... and on the top of that list is austerity.
