What was Yanis Varoufakis thinking? He may not wear a tie and act laid back and cool, but at the end of the day he appears to be just like all the other elite 1%. This photo shoot shows that SYRIZA, contrary to what we may have thought, is part of the Brussels EU, super rich club…not outside of it.
Yanis enjoys the the piano…
…and modest lunches…
…and hanging out on the veranda with the (very happy) wife…
…and even though he occasionally has to slum it in economy class…
…overall life is very good…
So Greece, as you face the possibility that your salaries will be suspended and your pension funds plundered, take solace in the fact that you can live well vicariously through your elected officials.
Not all Greeks are particularly amused by the pictures. Here’s one reaction via Keep Talking Greece:
“No, No, No! That was unacceptable!”
“What did he want to demonstrate? No, no, no… And the pictures with Danai? Holding her up with his arms?!!!”…
“At her age in a mini dress? I couldn’t believe what I saw this morning on the internet,” “What was the purpose of such photo shooting? Is he the minister of a life-style country?”
Predictably, Twitter is having a field day.
