Pity Greece’s statistician taking blame

Rather than examine fiscal mistakes, Greeks scapegoat a number cruncher, writes Philip Delves Broughton

Greeks take part in a rally against austerity in Athens...epa04805375 Protesters take part in a rally in front of the parliament, against austerity, supporting the government on the negotiations with its international creditors, in Athens, Greece, 17 June 2015. Geece's central bank warned that failure to conclude bailout talks with the country's creditors would lead to a default and exit from the euro area, ahead of a crucial meeting of eurozone finance ministers. Greece has to repay 1.6 billion euros to the IMF by the end of the month, which is also when the European part of the country's existing bailout expires. Fears abound that it could run out of money.

Greek statistics chief faces criminal trial

Georgiou accused of overstating deficit to justify harsh bailout

Frontpages of newspapers bear pictures of Syriza leader Alexis Tsipras a day after the Greek general election in Athens on September 21, 2015. The EU congratulated Tsipras on his left-wing party's re-election victory and said Greece has "no time to lose" in implementing the reforms agreed as part of its international bailout. Syriza won 35.5 percent of the vote against 28 percent for conservative New Democracy and is likely to again form a coalition government with the nationalist Independent Greeks (ANEL) party.
