A Financial Odyssey for Hellenism - The Best from Greece

On April 23, Prime Minister George Papandreou formally requested financial support from the EU and the IMF.

"It is a national and pressing need to formally ask our EU partners for the activation of the support package that we jointly created," Papandreou said in a televised statement from the southeastern island of Kastellorizo, where he was on a visit.

"We are on a tough course, a new Odyssey for Hellenism.

But we now know the way to Ithaca and have chartered our course. Ahead of us lies a journey, a demanding journey for us all, but with a new, collective conscience and joint efforts we shall reach our destination safely… Our final goal, our final destination is to liberate Greece from supervision and trusteeship.”
