Greek GDP was grossly overinflated in 2008 by overspending in the public sector. Compared to 1990, Greece still grew 80% points more than e.g. France until 2014, so they really don’t have much to complain about.

Really? I'd complain quite a bit about a 25% GDP drop, regardless of whether it was "overinflated" to start with.

Is the 2014 figure for Greece its real GDP without the overinflation?

If that is the case, we can simply inflate it up and problem solved.
