How Are The Italians Seeing The Greek Situation?

[Gelsemium]

Greece has a new government that is agitating the EU, namely the so called troika that was used to boss them around. How are the Italians seeing the Greek situation? Do they fear what might happen?

I think everybody is fearing the current situation but nevertheless the European Union is not a "holy organization" but a normal Union of European countries with almost the same currency. The EU is helping Greece because they are expecting more profit for themselves if Greece is still staying in the EU.

I am totally from the side of the greek people. They have made the right decision to vote "no" at the referendum for the eurozone. I would have done the same.

What's happening in Greece at the moment is obviously hard but as always in times like this, it's not the politicians or the government that's taking the brunt of it, it's the everyday working man in the street.

When the talks were ongoing with the EU about trying to organise a package to pay back what they owed, the Greek politicians were flying round europe in private jets, sipping champagne and eating like kings, while the Greek people, the people they are supposed to represent are back at home, seeing their savings that they've worked hard all their life for get swallowed up and their homes repossessed.

There's no justice...
