That article Slava linked is worth a read. This is not the work of a minority of people. This is a wholesale wave of entitlement and socialism gone mad.
The term "austerity" isn't really in the realm of reality for Greece. They complain like it's such hardship but really, the "hardship" would be the fattest union utopia you can imagine in the rest of the world. They're being asked to stop giving money to pedophiles, raise up their retirement ages from the lowest in all of Europe, and actually starting paying some taxes and their own mortgage.
