Many here need to revisit what Papandreou did
On 23 April 2010 during a visit at the island of Kastelorizo, Papandreou issued a statement to the press that he instructed Finance Minister
Papakonstantinou to officially ask the EU partners to activate the support mechanism, 'an unprecedented mechanism in the history and practice of the
European Union'.
[20] The support mechanism, which was put in place by the European heads of state and government and further elaborated by
Euro Group ministers, is a European mechanism to which the
IMF is associated with financing and it involves a comprehensive three-year economic program and financing conditions.
[21] On 23 April 2010,
Dominique Strauss-Kahn, the Managing Director of the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) announced that Greece made a request for a
Stand-By Arrangement.
[22] Papandreou and his Finance Minister
Giorgos Papakonstantinou managed to convince the IMF and EU to participate in a
€110bn bailout package on 9 May 2010. Greece's
sovereign debt crisis, which is considered part of the
European sovereign debt crisis, is marked by
massive strikes and demonstrations.

On 31 October, Papandreou announced his government's plans to hold a
referendum on the acceptance of the terms of a
eurozone bailout deal.
[35] The referendum was to be held in December 2011 or January 2012.
[36] However, following the insistence of EU leaders at the G20 summit in Cannes that the referendum should be on Greece's continued membership of the eurozone, and severe criticism of such a referendum by Greek Finance Minister Venizelos and within parliament, Papandreou scrapped the plan on 3 November.

what should have been done in 2010 is done now , EU is throwing good money after bad money and feel insulted on the Greek "ruse"
These changes to Greece by the EU is just meant to keep the Greeks "enslaved" as the poor of the EU.
I will say it again, if you want the EU to succeed , then get rid of the nations in the EU
