‘Help! Let me go! You’re safe! How ungrateful … On 4 November 2011, the Dutch cartoonist Willem paints an ironic picture of the Franco-German duo’s attempt to bail out Greece. Given the scale of the Greek public debt crisis, Chancellor Angela Merkel (on the left) and President Sarkozy (on the right) are determined to apply the Greek bailout plan, which is under threat following the surprise announcement by Greek Prime Minister Georges Papandreou (shown here drowning) to put it to a referendum.
