TELEGRAPH/ Long Read / N. Meo
The Greeks were among the most enthusiastic supporters of the euro when they joined 10 years ago.
But now, a recent opinion poll reports that 26% of voters want to get out of the euro.
Two years ago polls reported that only about 8% of the electorate opposed membership -- nearly all of them Communists.
One Greek said: "Our destiny is controlled by foreign bankers now, thanks to our idiot politicians."
But for most Greeks, leaving the euro is unthinkable. "Joining was a historic step for us – Greece has been struggling for two centuries to rejoin the West."
