(3,978 posts)It is a repeat of post WWI Germany. The neo nazis of Golden Dawn realize that people are fed up with the out of control immigration problem in Greece (mainly Afghans) who come to Greece for shelter, food, clothing. And yet, austerity is thrust upon working Greek citizens and it creates resentment and xenophobia to outsiders in Greek society. They ask why should my child not have aspirin and I am a Greek citizen while an immigrant from a distant land is allowed such humane necessities?
Syriza is very wishy/washy about the Euro zone bail out and austerity measures. They want the bail out but don't want the conditions that come with them.
In short, Greece's voters will pretty much change with the wind, and right now it is very dramatic and in flux.
