  1. Greek Government debt sitting at around 175%? 86% of Greeks feeling National Pride? When did it all go wrong for you guys? You feel pride when your country owes more than it makes.

  2. The real problem of many countries is lack of finantial culture. How come people want to stay in the euro and at the same time they reject the ECB that is providing money to the banks and the IMF ,ECB ,EC that is keeping country in the euro ? Does not make sense. Both in Portugal and Greeece people shout slogans but they fail to explain
    the community the most basic of economy finances. I am not optimistic.
    People transfer to the troika their anger and fail to realize that without troika no euro.

    • Nobody said that what it doesn’t make sense to you. you probably do not understands the wording finesses.

  3. 75% consider leaving the euro “impossible”.

    all those years of frontistiria – one would think that people are reading more about this situation online in english…

    how could such a high percentage consider this course of events (most probable) as impossible?

    the contradictions in this poll are ludicrous…
