  1. It seems that Sarris is having a bad time. However, one needs to realize that financial collapses are never the work of one man or one factor. Bad and lax policies are mostly responsible for financial collapses. In this case, the Government needed to show some steps being taken. Someone had to be martyred and it happened to be Sarris.
