Barroso to Greeks: ‘Deliver, deliver, deliver!’
European Commission President Jose Manuel Barroso is in Greece for talks, aiming to get the country out of its financial mire. Despite the outlined bailout plan, Greece’s economy is still contracting at an alarming rate, and pushing through further cuts is proving hard to stomach, both for politicians and the public. Athens has only enough money to make it to the end of the summer and speculation is swirling again that it may have to quit the eurozone. Meanwhile, on Thursday, Barroso told Greece’s new coalition government to “deliver, deliver, deliver” on promises for cost-cutting reforms.
