I imagine a temporary government was completely off the table for political reasons, as advantageous as it might have been. "The EU reserves the right to replace your democratically elected government at will" would be a pretty frightening message to send.


I would hope that with a default that could be an internal choice, and they might have asked the EU for help and support.

I certainly don't want the EU to put a government there.

Even if that was not possible, a default would have been good. Normal election would also cause some changes after such a period.

What the EU is doing is just terrible. Not letting them default and making all lending depend on the countries complaints with the EU.


They did default even if nobody calls it a default.
