Merkel‘s hint at referendum makes waves

Merkel “conveyed some thoughts” about a possible referendum during a telephone conversation with Papoulias in which she emphasized Europe’s determination to help Greece emerge from the crisis, the new government spokesman Dimitris Tsiodras said in a statement. The statement added however that holding such a referendum does not fall within the powers of the country’s caretaker government.
