Anti-Greek

Things are always more complex than they seem. Everybody blamed Germany for squeezing Greece so hard, but nobody noticed that for years Greece was the door into the EU for every bandit and crook in the world. All you needed to do was rent an apartment in Greece (which you can do for $250 a month, so it’s easily affordable to every crook), and you could have your EU papers. At first, Greece required that these crooks lived in Greece for 180 days to get their papers but then canceled this requirement. The flood of horrible, completely criminal folks from places like Russia that was gushing into the EU from Greece was driving everybody in the EU nuts. Which contributed to the anti-Greek sentiment.
