The problem is, that Greece got all those EU subsidies without proper oversight in place.
Rampant capitalism, cronyism, everyday corruption (a little bit of "faki-laki" and you get your surgery this week instead of next month) ...

After Greece was hit hard by the recession, it looked for ways to cut costs. One of those incredible means was to compile a list of everybody working in public offices: They found several cases in which people claimed 3 wages from 3 jobs, while doing only 1.




Actually, I think this violence has deeper roots: One or two years ago police accidently shoot a teenager during a protest march. This led to a radicalization and estrangement of the youth culture towards government. And now THEY face austerity measures, because THOSE bankers bankrupted their country.
