Greek economy referendum attempt

The inexperience of the SYRIZA government (2015-2019) forced Greece to undergo another five tough years, noted Charles Dallara, the former Institute of International Finance head who in 2012 led negotiations on a major haircut on Greece's private-held debt, known as the private sector involvement (PSI).

New Democracy bears a "huge responsibility" for its populism in undermining his government after Greece's financial woes became known and for prolonging the country's bailout regime, former prime minister George Papandreou said on Friday.
