George Papandreou: Well, obviously there were constraints which didn't allow me or others to make the types of decisions we would have wanted, and obviously I had hoped that we would have the time to make the reforms which would have dealt with the deficit rather than trying to cut the deficit which was the symptom of the problem. And that hurt. That hurt because that, first of all, hurt the younger generation, and not only, many of them are demonstrating outside, but I think this is one of our problems.
Георгиос Папандреу: Ну, конечно, я, да и другие, находились под давлением и не могли принять решения, которые бы полностью нас устроили. Конечно, я надеялся, что у нас будет время провести реформы, которые будут работать с дефицитом, а не просто его урежут, ведь это всего лишь проявление проблемы. И это было тяжело.
