I used to think Varoufakis' critique of the EU being a structurally anti-democratic union was just coming from the angle of an edgy leftist that was forced by the Troika to do austerity.

Day in and day out, the EU proves Varoufakis right.

The Troika is a pet name for the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and the International Monetary Fund.

Calling it the Troika makes it sound like it's some separate thing.

It was because of the Troika that the Tsipras ignored the result of the referendum and continued with more austerity, no? So in this case, pointing at the Troika is right? Am I misunderstanding something?
