Ta Nea

Sacrifice and suffocation for Greece

The Greek headlines make sorry reading this morning, as the grim reality of a new age of austerity sinks in.

There's little sense that the country has won a respite through the enormous bailout agreed by European governments, only a grim assessment of what impact the latest round of cuts will have on ordinary Greeks.

"The Big Sacrifice" says Ta Nea, the Elethrotypia believes it's going to be "Four Years Without A Breath”, whilst Ethnos says the pain will last a little longer: "Suffocation For the Next Five Years."

For the Socialist PASOK government, this is galling.
