In the end, Cas Mudde commented on the intransigence of the Greek government on the implementation of the memorandum. "The position of Athens that Greece is different from other European countries and that the attitude to it must be different can obtain the following two answers: One is to accept its specificity and the other is that it should not be different from the rest. The problem is that if the European Union accepts that Greece is different and specific because of its clientelistic ties, negligent interpretation of figures and statistics, etc. it can also say that, under those circumstances, the country should not be a member of the euro zone nor even of the European Union. The Greek cabinet believes that it can achieve its goal but the euro zone can also find a way to take the country out of its ranks."
