It is sad he has resigned, I think......he is very bright and articulate. Even if they choose someone new with the same 'views', I think the fact they loathed him would be GOOD for new talks, not bad for them! I think the powers that be in the EU hate the current Greek government for being against austerity [punishment is good, not bad....suffering is good, not bad.....becoming poor so others can be rich is good, not bad] AND because they are a leftist government in a sea of right-wing ones! Everyone seems also to ignore the history of what Germany and later the USA did to Greece...though few Greeks forget either! I can only hope that he has resigned as a tactical move and then can be re-appointed when the negotiations get deadlocked [as they are SURE to become!]. Here the Euro is fluctuating greatly and is being nervously traded...as some see that other nations could 'opt out' of the Euro if not the EU whenever they like...and not pay what they are asked to pay...much as Iceland gave the finger to their creditors - and is much the better for it!
