I have some serious problems with what is going on downtown Athens and I know many others have too. The reality of the situation is that Greece and other EU states have been put in a very difficult place.
Greece, Portugal, Spain, Ireland and Italy are facing major financial hardship. The Greeks are getting all the publicity because the resistance there is more vocal and severe, but this does not mean that the Greeks are more ruined than say Portugal a country with the same economy, same population and same size.
Spanish unemployment is 28% compared to 21% in Greece and this is just one example. It's just that the Greeks will not put up with having a non elected Governor imposed on them. The German Democratic Republic of Greece is resisting an attempt from what appears to be a German take over. Many in Greece are saying that its the system that needs to be changed and not them!!
