Greece must remain in the Eurozone

 by Vasilis Giavris (Lawyer & Political Scientist)

  

Trying to negotiate a better deal is warranted. However, causing Greece to exit the Eurozone is a political, economic and social travesty the results of which the Greek people will pay for in in a multitude of ways in the years to follow. Greece is a proud and independent nation. Its destiny is in the Eurozone and not as a struggling, bottom dweller, Balkan basket case. Exiting the Eurozone is not a solution. Vision and desire must be balanced with diplomatic nous and realism. Such tragedy should be averted.
