Greece isn't going to allow itself to be pushed around by Germans. Things will get interesting this week, unless they don't get interesting.

>There is alot of Europeans mad about what they see as their Governments selling them and their cultures out to mass immigration but its muted right now.<

Yup. This one is quietly grumbled about widely. Its still "not cool" to be seen anti immigrant, but it seems to be bubbling up more over time. They especially dislike it when the immigrants European born children make it a special point to not assimilate.
