the IIF represents the banks, which would be damaged by a greek default. so little surprise that the scenario is pictured as a catastrophe to be avoided at all costs.

In Spain, if you have a legal job it's impossible to evade taxes.

You can have a legal job and be partly paid legally (by bank), and partly illegally (cash). That's quite common in some industries.

And what do you do with that cash? Pay others the same way. Thus a parallel black economy develops.

In Italy, austerity means "even more taxes". Spending has not been significantly reduced, because that's the matter on which political power feeds.

You may be right, but is it really necessary to use the word "terrorist"?
