Saved! Oh no, wait... (part 2)

The breather proves short-lived after Greek elections that see the pro-euro centre-right come out narrowly ahead. As markets worry about the eurozone’s daunting debt level, François Picard’s panel argues over whether it’s Berlin that now faces the heat amid pressure to come up with a "grand plan" at next week’s EU summit.
