He did our country a great service. Even now after his personal victory he does what is in the country's best interest. The creditors demanded his removal. True he is a poor diplomat and politics need diplomacy but if more politicians were a bit like him the world would be better off. At least he is honest. As for the situation, as we often say in Greece the truth is somewhere in the middle, we must repay they must let us do so with dignity and hope.

> At least he is honest.

He's been caught lying on multiple occasions, most recently only two days ago about already having new proposals from the eurogroup.

And it's still remains to be seen how truthful the arguments with which he sold the Greek public on a "no" vote are.

> He's been caught lying on multiple occasions. Has he? Why should we believe that those deals were not offered as he said seeing the change in the attitude of the Eurogroup (which is a loose group of friends as it's president claimed when he decided to kick out one of it's members last Sunday)or even the IMF (which recognized with a report what he always said about debt sustainability) last week after the announcement of the referendum. Anyway by honest I was referring mostly to his political and ideological position and not to his negotiation tactics.
