If Greece doesn’t self identify as a member of the EU do they have to pay the debt back?
none of the eu members self identify as “eu” first. It is not the USA or rather the USofE.
They are a conglomeration of existing nations rather a unity of a idea.
“If Greece doesn’t self identify as a member of the EU do they have to pay the debt back?”
Greece, cradle of “democracy,” seems to be a nation of people who look out for themselves, by whatever means are at their disposal.
—High Taxes? Dodge them, don’t pay them.
—Borrow money from others? Sure.
—Cannot repay others? No problem. Don’t pay.
It appears they have run out of “other peoples’ money.”
Not their own rich, and not the EU member nations.
At the start of the EU is the 1950s there was concern about letting in less wealthy nations from the South of Europe.
