Abstract:
Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou on Friday criticized the European Union as ”timid” and too slow to express unified support for his country during its financial crisis, a day after Greece won backing — but no detailed bailout plan — at an EU summit.
Speaking during a Cabinet meeting on his return from the Thursday summit in Brussels, Papandreou said that while the country had received a statement of support, delays and conflicting statements over the past few months had made things worse.
