Greece Humiliated

Evangelos Venizelos, Greece's Finance Minister, is upset that Greece is (in his view) being made a "scapegoat" for the debt crisis in the eurozone.

The BBC quotes him as saying that European and international institutions were using Greece as an "easy excuse" to "hide their own lack of competence to manage the crisis", and that Greece has been "blackmailed and humiliated".

All very well, maybe. However, no one forced Greece to commit fraud and no one forced Greece to join the Euro.
