The Greek drama now revolves around two characters, both of them German. The first is Angela Merkel, the chancellor, and the second is Wolfgang Schäuble, her finance minister. She seems to be intent on keeping Greece in the eurozone, albeit not at any price, but he seems to believe that the Greek withdrawal is in Europe’s best interest. Well, make it Germany’s best interest. The rift is inviting all sorts of guesses from the sidelines. Will Merkel kick Schäuble out of her government to prevent the tragedy? Or will he eventually manage to persuade her that Greece should be let go? Of course, there are options galore for the end of the protracted drama, but the two key characters from Germany are always at the center of the stage. And that is the real tragedy of the Greek tragedy. Tragedy squared, as it were. At best, the European Union is a stage set. And Greeks are, well, in the audience together with the rest of the European nations. Most of the audience is fast asleep, though. As leading characters go, Merkel and Schäuble are as boring as death.
