I am really confused about this. I understand that due to (allegedly) poor Governmental leadership that Greece is on the verge of bankruptcy, but that as a member of the European Union they have already received a huge cash advance to help them out of their financial situation from a central fund which originated from other Member States. I also understand that this amount was apparently insufficient to meet Greece's immediate shortcomings and that their Government has requested an additional amount. This is a matter of some contention as some Member States are refusing to agree to advance any further funding, believing that there will continue to be further requests for funding and the concern is that Greece will never be able to repay the colossal amount loaned to them. So I think I can understand that part. What I really cannot grasp, is that the Greek people don't want money from the European Union and as a result there have been terrible riots there. Are they rioting because in rebellion to their Government's reputed incompetence? Do they think the situation would have been better had they had a different Government? I have seen posters stating that they don't want handouts, they want jobs. Do they think they are alone in this Global recession? What do they think will happen if they DON'T get any further aid? I would genuinely like to know the answer to the above questions and for clarification of the situation as it just doesn't make any sense to me so I must have gotten it completely wrong. I look forward to any enlightenment that can be offered as I would very much like to understand.
