European Economy Discussion

Stephen Sackur discusses Europe's economy with Greek Energy Minister, George Papaconstantinou, former Hollande advisor Karine Berger and German Christian Democrat Michael Meister.

In Europe, the popular backlash against austerity is gathering strength. Greek voters have rejected the bail-out deal imposed from Brussels. France's new president Francois Hollande wants to rewrite the Eurozone's fiscal rules to prioritise growth. Suddenly Germany's ability to impose its will on the Eurozone is under threat. HARDtalk speaks to three guests - Greece's energy minister, a former economic adviser to President elect Francois Hollande, and from Germany, a finance spokesman for the governing CDU party. Europe seems destined for a summer of economic and political crisis - is there any way out?
