"Papandreou, please don't save us anymore" at Brussels on Sunday 23/10.
EUobserver/ Brussels (23 October) -
While heads of states discuss the second Greek bailout over marathon talks in Brussels, members of the local Greek solidarity movement stage a protest calling on Prime Minister George Papandreou to resign. “Greek people don’t want any more loans”, says Yiorgos Vassalos from the Greek solidarity movement in Brussels who is joined by some of the Spanish “indignants”. Belgian police have water canons parked a stones throw from the protesters.

Greece’s prime minister George Papandreou is pleading with European leaders in Brussels to act decisively to solve the continent’s debt crisis. At a summit Sunday, the leaders are expected to ask banks to accept huge losses on Greek bonds to ease the pressure on the country, and to raise billions more in capital to weather those losses.
