Because the issues were endemic to Greece way before he even took office.
He is responsible for not doing anything to solve the issue of tax evasion, and could be argued to have contributed extensively. No one can deny.
But, Greeks are not easily Governed. They believe that the State is their cash cow. Nepotism existed in his administration as it did in the administration before him.
A complete overhaul of Greece's political system, public sector, VAT and tax system is required. Greeks need to accept this. Otherwise, things will never change no matter who is in power.
Greeks need to now feel the pain. They need to unite and save their country. A tall order for Greeks. I won't believe my eyes if this happens!
