Greece tried to solicit both Russia and China when it came to emergency loans so they could stay out of the troic quagmire. The Lexit option might have been useful as a match which was held over a pool of gasoline but I don't think it would have been a very pleasant process certainly for the greek working classes if you look at the french case. There's definitely been very strong euro skepticism coming from parts of la français umise.
Featuring Anton Jäger and Dominik Leusder on Europe and the European Union from the crises of social democratic welfare states in the 1970s and 80s, the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, through the eurozone crisis, to the present moment of war in Ukraine, renewed NATO expansion, and a resurgent far right.
