11:06Now Playingwww.DemocracyNow.org - World leaders are gathering in Cannes for the opening of the Group of 20 summit today.

On Monday, Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou angered many European leaders by announcing his support for a popular referendum — allowing the Greek people to decide if they want to accept the conditions of the $179 billion European Union bailout.

The Greek debt scandal has also pitted U.S. banking interests against France, Germany and other European powers. "The Americans are putting immense pressure on Europe saying, 'We will wreck your economy if you don't wreck Greece's economy,'" says economic analyst Michael Hudson on Democracy Now! Nov. 3. President Obama is "basically telling Europe, 'Don't go the democratic route, support Wall Street.'"
