The people of Greece 'rolls' now! Say No to the european union, say No to Germany and France, say NO to 'slavery written on paper' say NO to Nato! The EU was nothing but a paper tiger, it's time to get rid of this 'fantasy'! Did you people see how Angela Merkel , the iron lady of Germany who was a former GDR national and she has strong resentment over comunist country....she goes to beg money in Beijiang two weeks ago? The Chinese leaders just despised her and leave her alone! The European union has no reason to exist anymore besides a myth of european unity!

I wonder if the Greeks will actually do what they promise. They would be better off out of the Euro.

No worries. Tomorrow the papers will be back with a fresh, new angle on the crisis to sell more papers.

The picture of 10 Astinomia Policemen against one demonstrator. I always wondered how Greece was accepted in EU in the first place. Anyway, I wish the best to Greece and my relatives there.

It's gonna be a tough year for the Greeks. I hope we/they will find a way out. It seems difficult though. Nothing worked so far and all the austerity measures made the situation even worse. Many Greeks wish a return to Drachma even though it will have catastrophic consequences for the standard of living of the average Greek citizen.

just-a-bigguy: anti-European sentiments?

Did you people see how Angela Merkel , the iron lady of Germany who was a former GDR national and she has strong resentment over comunist country....

Did you know that if Europe and the US would go bankrupt or even if the consumer market slows even more, China will have riots because nobody would buy what Chinese workers are producing every day? China is being careful.

The European union has no reason to exist anymore besides a myth of european unity!

Back to the village and tribe mentalities. Frontier, restrictions on movement of good and people have no reason to exist.
