- Description
A large urn representing the euro topples from its plinth and is caught by a crowd of people standing below. In the following cameos they juggle the urn desperately trying to keep it in the air. In the lower right corner a man [George Papndreou] stares at his greasy hands and says 'Darn Greece!' Context: the cartoon is about keeping the Greek economy afloat. Greece has been offered a bailout deal by the EU (European Community) but PM George Papandreou responded by announcing that Greece would have to have a referendum to ensure that the people were behind the deal. His announcement of a referendum angered European leaders and sent shockwaves through its markets. The referendum idea was quickly dropped and Papandreou forced to step aside.
