Parent is presenting the current common view of him in his country: that he 's a huge fraud

As of your opinion, seriously? you think his childish antics amount to "stnading up to bullies?". He was gambling with millions of fortunes. But that's easy to forget from afar and it looks good on film. In general, it would be nice if international audiences don't enable this guy -- The Left in greece is having another identiy crisis, and i'd hate to see someone like him taking the reins , cause then the future becomes very deterministic.

I have read his book and if even 10% of his interactions with the EU are truthful then bullies is accurate and he was completely in the right not to accept such disgusting terms.

Greece has never recovered from the deal they signed after kicking him out.
