Abstract

The article discusses the three themes of the conundrum within the financial crisis in the European Union (EU) countries in 2015 such as democracy, conditionality and institutional weakness. Topics mentioned include the impact of the initiatives of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and EU conditionality on debt crisis in Greece, the effort started by Yanis Varoufakis, former Member of the Hellenic Parliament, with euro partners of Greece, and the response of EU Commission vice-president Jyrki Katainen to the election of the SYRIZA government, a left-wing political party in Greece, in Athens.
