BERLIN - Repeating his mantra that Greece will turn around next year and recover from a crushing economic crisis and a deep six-year recession, Greek Prime Minister Antonis Samaras told an audience of German business leaders that, ?We are now cleaning up this mess.?
He was referring to the debacle in Greece caused by generations of wild overspending by his New Democracy Conservatives and their rivals, the PASOK Socialists, who are now his partners in a thin-majority coalition.
That led a previous government in 2010 to seek an international bailout of $152 billion and then a second for $173 billion that came with attached austerity measures that created record unemployment and poverty.
