www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/greece/8881270/Lucas-Papademos-appointed-to-form-new-Greek-government.htmlLucas Papademos, a former European Central Bank vice-president, was appointed to form a new Greek government after days of wrangling. "The president has given Mr Papademos the mandate to form a government," the office said in a statement. Mr Papademos, 64, is an acknowledge expert on financial matters and has been appointed as the man to steer Greece out of its worst post-war economic crisis. In his first comments, Mr Papademos said membership of the euro would eventually deliver monetary stability and ensure Greece makes the adjustments needed to restore economic grow. He said hard choices would have to be made by his government in the coming weeks. The Greek stock market jumped sharply when Papademos arrived at the presidential palace to begin talks with the head of state and political leaders.

Out with the socialist pigs.
Mr. Papademos is an Independent, which means he is not affiliated with any political party in Greece. This is exactly what Greece needs. Also, he has an outstanding educational portfolio on economics (among other learnings).
Good luck to Greece.

Man there are no socialists in Greece, how can there be socialist pigs? Till recently you needed 800 euros to send your kids to eye doctors _ bye them glasses. I dont think that's very socialist. In fact Greece used to be the most capitalist country on earth. Even UK or USA are more communist than Greece.

Also, he has an outstanding educational portfolio on economics (among other learnings).Good luck to Greece. Indeed. Very impressive actually. "Papadimos attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, gaining a degree in physics in 1970, a masters degree in electrical engineering in 1972, and a doctorate in economics, in 1978. He followed an academic career at Columbia University where he taught economics from 1975 until 1984, and then at the University of Athens from 1988 to 1993.[3]" What all countries, especially Balkan countries, need is highly educated and intelligent people (you're likely to be intelligent if you are highly educated and vice versa). What the Balkans doesn't need is the politicians with no education worth mentioning that see politics as a way to fatten their pockets.

If balkans were left alone, of course they would have the best ppl in power.
Just look at ex-yu pre-war and after-war. The difference in culture is huge. pre-war Yugoslavia was an almost central EUROPEAN country, after war it was ... like sh1t

This is the same guy that was advising Papamalakas for 2 years. Everybody is praising this guy as some kind of independent saviour that will save us from petty politics and move Greece forward. If its good for the markets fine, but if he didnt know Greece wasnt ready to join the Euro he might as well stick all those degrees in his a.ss.

Wish there was a like button for this comment because it surely speaks logic and sense. Some of us do indeed have their eyes open.

Mr. Chalkedon, while Papademos did advice the Prime Minister Papandreiou, the issues in Greece is not his doing. An advisor ADVISES but does not implement any policy. It is the Prime Minister that implements policy by listening to the advise and letting the people decide.

Im sure he had first hand knowledge of the swaps that was done in order to get into the Eurozone. Tell me, what was the purpose into rushing to adopt the Euro currency ? Would it of been so bad to hold off until your ready for it ? Look at the Czech Republic, or Poland they are in the EU and use their native currency. Papademos is just as guilty as the rest of those scumbags we have in their. He is just a puppet for Brussels, nothing more.

Whoever is changed in the Greek government or whatever is attempted in Greece to get it together, someone will be unhappy about it and point fingers.

The orders came from very high above, and Greeks had no say in this (as usual).

I know we arent the only one and I know this is global regional issue. But for f.ucks sake all the money we have been getting for so many years for a country of 12 million and nobody is in jail. What can I say, I am at a loss of words.

A referendum would have been disastrous. If Greece had one, it would of meant no austerity plans, and the question of staying with the Euro would of come up. Results would be out with the Euro. If that happened, the drachma would be worthless against the Euro, and Greece would be completely bankrupt. Those that receive pensions would get nothing. Greece would be at a stand still. Thank God it did not happen.

No, I meant a referendum to join the Euro. Not the latest disaster that was proposed. Also, to say the Greek people would of rejected this is false. I seriously think people shat in their pants when they were told they would go back to the drachma. It was a wakeup call, I never felt so much silence within that weekend. That said, I also dont know if a default would of been a disaster. I dont think it would of, for me and other Greeks from Diaspora it would of been horrendous since I use the Euro -> Dollar advantage. But If I was just a Greek without any Diaspora connections I probably would of opted for it. Take the losses and start new.

And still nobody mentions this progression. As a matter of fact the Germans shut down any nationalistic voice in Greece. So easily. With just one word. I am afraid to say that nobody believes there is a true nationalistic Greek voice. All nationalism was imported and funded.
