- Description
A man representing 'Ireland' puts his hands over his eyes so that he can 'see no evil' as the word 'Greece' bursts over his head, scattering its three 'e's that have become euro symbols. A second version has no man but the name 'Ireland' with its 'e' as a euro, says 'Don't look'. Context - Anxiety over Greece and the future of the eurozone. A full-blown default now looks like a realistic possibility. Greece was handed a bailout a year ago but the required austerity programme demanded as a condition of the bailout has hurt economic growth and sent unemployment up sharply causing Greece to miss some of the financial targets agreed to and triggering another round of cuts. A Greek default is now being openly described as Europe's "Lehman Brothers moment". That's because so much of its debt is held by European financial institutions. There is also the danger that contagion could again ripple out from Athens to Ireland and Portugal, which are already implementing their own austerity programmes in return for financial help.
