About 50 000 demonstrators defied a ban on protests yesterday in Greece to voice their displeasure with German Chancellor Angela Merkel. She is currently in the country to meet with Greek leaders who are searching for a new package of budget cuts. They need this in order to secure bail-out funds – largely underwritten by the German taxpayer.

You may just find something you want to purchase as Greek officials begin appointing advisers for the country’s ambitious privatisation drive, and what is one of the most ambitious asset-selling campaigns in modern history.
