Greece -A crisis of insolvency feared -February 22, 2013

The austerity policies could create a crisis of insolvency, undermining the very reason they were implemented - to repay the country's debt - says the country's biggest trade union confederation. People can't pay their taxes. That's why state revenue fell 300 million euros short of January targets. If that continues, it is questionable whether the state will be able to meet its obligations by June or July. It may not have the cash to pay salaries and pensions.
