#1 Public anger showed itself again around the country on Friday as parades were held to mark Greece's wartime resistance to Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy.

I wonder if they also remember that rival resistance groups gunned for each other too.

Starting in 1943, on a number of cases EDES and ELAS fought each other in a sort of prelude to the civil war that sprang up after the German departure in 1944. EAM alleged that EDES was aided by the German occupying forces and by the Nazi-supported puppet regimes of Tsolakoglou, Logothetopoulos and Rallis. This situation led to triangular battles among ELAS, EDES and the Germans. At the same time, ELAS attacked and destroyed Psarros' military formation, the "5/42 Evzones Regiment", killing him. - Wiki

#3 Clearly the Greek government has decided staying in the Eurozone is no longer possible and a referendum is the face saving way to exit.
