The man is an idealist,....nothing wrong with that but he became completely unreasonable and unrealistic in his demands from the start.
Nobody liked what had to happen in Greece, but previous Greek Governments made a complete mess of things not planning for the future of the country but their immediate short term elections and staying in power at all cost, even if that meant a severe economic downturn in the future, thinking, it was the next administration's problem.
Especially the Tax system is a complete joke in Greece, it's still common to rent or buy something with a recept or without, cheating every Greek out of a future, but no, blame the foreigners for trying to get Greece back on track, definitely don't go looking for the real problem in the Greek system and mentality.
It's not going to work if the vast Greek civil service isn't reformed drastically and the Tax office is really going to go after every Greek that cheats on their Tax, because it's so rampant it's going to fail the Greek economy again in the future.
Don't look to others, and definitely don't try to blame others, this one was entirely of your own making Greece, the sooner to own up to that the faster you can recover from it and reform.
