Solving the Greek puzzle

The Greek deal will make its debts a priority but it has lost the trust of the EU leadership and its fellow member states, writes Europe Correspondent Ann Cahill

PUTTING the Greek deal together was like doing the Rubik’s cube. It took 13 hours — roughly €10 billion an hour — to line up all the pieces, though it had taken months of politicking behind the scenes and in front of the cameras to organise it.

Even after that, nobody is saying it will work, much as nobody has said Greece will not need a third package.
