George Papandreou

Barnaby Phillips says "farewell" in his Aljazeera blog

Personally, I'm sorry to see him step down.

I've only met him once, at a small dinner with friends in Stockholm, when he was visiting as Greek Minister of Foreign Affairs, but he impressed me then as a thoroughly decent and highly intelligent and principled man.

President Sarkozy apparently used other adjectives.

How will he judged? As a hero of 2011?

Radio Arvila assessment, May 2012: "The last autonomous Prime Minister of Greece"
