[Euractiv]L'annonce surprise du premier ministre grec, George Papandreou, de la décision de son gouvernement d'organiser un référendum sur l'accord difficilement conclu sur le sauvetage du pays de la faillite a fait déferler une vague de panique sur l'Europe et le reste du monde.
The Greek cabinet early today (2 November) unanimously backed a plan, first announced by Papandreou on Monday, to hold a referendum over the rescue plan recently agreed by eurozone leaders (see background). At the seven-hour emergency cabinet meeting Papandreou said that a referendum would offer "a clear mandate" for austerity measures demanded by other eurozone members.
His intention to hold a referendum took by surprise his closest collaborators. Even Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos was reportedly unaware of any referendum plans. In fact, the eurozone plan to save Greece from bankruptcy requires no popular vote. The announcement shook world markets, which saw their indexes plunge over the news from Athens. Opinion polls suggest that Greeks are likely to reject the European aid, no matter how the question would be formulated.
