As the Greek debt crisis continues, foreign leaders are continuing to put pressure on the Greek government to further implement austerity measures.

Over the last year the country has seen a rise in tax rates and VAT, a cut in public sector wages in exchange for bailout loans from the international community.

Many of these austerity measures have not been very fruitful and have sparked mass protests throughout Greece. The Greek population it seems are no longer willing to accept any more austerity measure.
