As the details began to emerge of the tough conditions imposed by international lenders before Greece will have access to 86 billion euros there has been an out pouring of anger.
Athens resident Sandra Demertzis said:
“It’s a catastrophic agreement, but I expected it because within the eurozone there was no way we could ever get anywhere. They are gangsters, they are financial murderers. There was no way.”
Some ministers laid the blame firmly at the feet of Germany and and several other eurozone countries .
“Yesterday, the prime minister of the country faced a coup d`etat, a coup led by Germany and other countries like the Netherlands, Finland and the Baltic countries, a coup that came to the point of blackmailing the Greek prime minister with the collapse of the banks and a complete haircut on deposits,” said Greek Defence Minister Panos Kammeno
