Greece's €11.5bn austerity measures 'will be the last', promises PM Antonis Samaras

"This is the last such package of spending cuts," Samaras told a meeting of his conservative party's officials. "The Greek economy can take no more."

Samaras' promise will sound familiar to Greeks, as previous governments have offered - and broken - similar pledges during more than two-and-a-half years of harsh austerity measures designed to curtail huge budget deficits.
