Contrary to the fears of the European financial community, the results from the general elections held in Greece had not produced a radical government which could repudiate the national debt.

Description: Two Greek soldiers look suspiciously at a large wooden horse representing 'Euro Bailout'. Context: Refers to the bailout being offered Greece by the European Union. Eurozone finance ministers have signed off on a second Greek bailout package, worth 130bn (#109bn). Economic affairs commissioner Olli Rehn went on to say the success of the Greek programme would hinge on implementation risks and political unity in Greece. The initiative is German, so 'Germans bearing gifts' rather than 'Greeks bearing gifts'. The wooden horse refers to the gift offered the Trojans by the Greeks - it was filled with Greek soldiers who brought about the sack of Troy - hence a gift with a sting.

Description: Deputy President of Greece Karolos Papoulias bails water from a boat with "Greece" on the bow while the boat sinks in to a bath tub. Context - Last month it was reported that the Government was borrowing $19.9b, $5b more than required to fund the $14.9b cash deficit. In November the Government will have to make its largest-ever debt repayment of $7.6 billion and has been stockpiling cash to pay it. Treasury said it was the largest-ever debt repayment and it naturally carried a high level of risk. (NZH 12 July 2011) Greece has more than 350bn euros of debt, and the IMF warned last week than it needs an additional 100bn euros in aid on top of last year's bail-out to avoid a default. European governments are struggling to put together a second bailout of Greece that would supplement a 110 billion euro rescue launched in May last year.
