 | 'EU poverty spreading at alarming rates' Dec 29th 2012, 12:45 | www.youtube.com Latest World News Net Please Subscribe LatestWorldNewsNet A financial analyst says the EUs policy of protecting the Euro by imposing austerity is driving Europeans into poverty and unemployment at an alarming rate. In the background of this, European countries increasingly suffer in their ability to cope with huge debt pressures. Standard and Poors has downgraded Cyprus to CCC+ saying the country is facing increased financial pressure, which means in this case the country is unable to pay its debts and or to negotiate better repayment deals. In Italy, protests have erupted over spending cuts to national healthcare. This, protesters believe, could even close down some hospitals. The economic crisis across Europe and particular the PIGS countries is severely distressing their populations as they see poverty increasing and jobs being cut through austerity. Press TV has interviewed Mr. Robert Oulds, international finance expert, London about this issue.
