France has a new President

Right...so now will Merkel and those more for austerity tow the line, or will they be forced to give in at least some to Hollande?

I don't think Greece is going to be in any real shape to fight back against the EU no matter who's in charge. But I can also see them trying.

Greece has only recently seemed to be stable politically, but based on what is going on with their debt situation, maybe they really weren't. And now ordinary Greeks have to bear the brunt of government nonsense...so I can understand to a point why many of them are so angry. On the other hand...they elected these people to run their country...
