: This time, though, there is a nervousness that a reckoning is upon us, according to The Independent. The rhetoric of the Greek government does not help. In so many Greek dramas in the past, there was a feeling that, in the end, the can would be kicked further down the road, to employ an overused phrase. Yesterday, the Prime Minster Alexis Tsipras was defiant as ever, declaring that his mandate from the Greek people was to end austerity, as if simply voting for an anti-austerity party is enough for a nation to have its debts forgiven by the rest of the world. It was not. He said that Europe wishes to humiliate Greece, with the ECB wanting financial strangulation . Mr Tsipras speaks as though Greece had been somehow forced into taking on this vast mountain of debt in the first place, as if it were a kind of reparations imposed on it after a war.
