PARIS (MNI) – France’s President Nicolas Sarkozy Friday reaffirmed
his support for Greece, casting it as both a moral and an economic
obligation to save the debt-choked country.
Speaking outside the presidential palace here after an hour-long
meeting with Greece’s Prime Minister George Papandreou, Sarkozy also
said he would be meeting with Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel in “the
upcoming days” to discuss implementing measures to enhance Europe’s
financial backstop fund and move towards greater economic integration.
“A failure of Greece would be a failure of all Europe,” Sarkozy
declared. “It is not possible to allow Greece to fall.”
