Grant, Charles, Tilford, Simon, (2013), “Two cheers for Beppe Grillo”, The Centre for European Reform, 1 Μαρτίου. The Achilles heel of the euro has always been democracy. Although the euro is unlikely to break up, that risk cannot be entirely excluded: one day, voters may choose a government committed to policies that are incompatible with the conditions set by Europe’s leaders for membership of the single currency.”

Λιαρόπουλος, Λυκούργος, (2013), “Βόμβα νοσηρότητας”, www.metarithmisi.gr, 21 Φεβρουαρίου.
