  This man is so honest and brilliant.   He is spot on.  His ideas are very realistic and doable.  The people of the work needs to listen.

  Just add a soft 80&apos;s - action film - style instrumental running in the back for the full Yanis V experience.

  THANKS----As an expat living in Crete/Greece many years, I sure hope that YV becomes the next Prime Minister and pulls together all the working people of Europe to a green New Deal with the Day25/European Spring movement. It&apos;s either that or needless, hopeless slavery. (And while average Germans work 1000 hours per year, Greeks work 1500.)

  I have the most respect for this man! But remember everyone... stay critical! As a countryman of Yanis I have witnessed his political and some of his academics career and I have agreed with most of what he stands for . And that&apos;s the reason I have to stay critical about the man .<br>As Christopher Hitchens once said &quot;give a man a reputation as an early riser and he will sleep until noon&quot; , let&apos;s not make this mistake with Varoufakis . Let&apos;s keep this man as honest as he is now .

  In the 30 years war France was in the protestant side.

  I wonder, how long the greek economy can remain in this state. Everything is sold out, young people leaving the country as fast as they can. Erdogan waiting for the chance to annex cyprus and the nearby islands as soon the european construct collapses, and the official governmental media channels still saying, greece is on a good way.

  Morethan the 100 years war, the main line between those who want a tighter, more federal Europe and those who don´t reminds me to the old divide between latinos and germanic, protestants vs catholics/orthodox, the individualism vs the colectivism...it matches even geographically...it may just be me, but it seems like the same cultural scars from all of Europe´s history coming up yet again.
