Greek president attacks German minister

 

In a meeting with his generals, Greek President Karolos Papoulias on Wednesday attacked the German Finance Minister WolfgangSchäubleas well as the Dutch and the Finns, after they warned that Athens must not turn into a bottomless pit. But even if some Europeans interfere too much in Greek affairs, such outbursts should not be allowed to fuel people's hatred, commentators write.
