This entire soap opera is tiring. I don't even understand why it is in HN frontpage other than as a curiosity.

Because whatever happens it will have strong repercussions on the economy of all the world?

Because this is Europe's Lehman weekend. Those who think that contagion is not an issue anymore may be in for a surprise. In combination with this week's record plunge at Shanghai Stock Exchange and a general slowdown of the world economy this could spiral out of control fairly quickly.

They finally admit that they don't care about democracy, they're not interested in getting the situation any better in Greece, they don't care about the peoples of Europe. Monday, I'll get rid of my euros and hope that the 5th the Greeks will have the guts to vote NO.
