Greece alone against the whole of Europe

That is, we can expect things that we have not seen so far or we have not seen for a long time, but at this point, I do not see how this will change the course of Europe. The main reason for this is what they offer, if it is not this Europe. It is not clear.

As for the situation in France - I have personally spoken with Marine Le Pen. She is a very intelligent politician and talented leader. She believes that she can become President of France in 10 years. I personally do not believe this because when the National Front rises, the Socialists and the right wing unite against it. The electoral system in France is such that they can stop it. I do not yet see the perspective for a candidate of the National Front to win the presidential election in France in the first round. I doubt that this is possible, especially if a charismatic politician like Nicolas Sarkozy fails to return to politics and to run for president in 2017, although it is still an open question whether he will be able to do so.
 
However, there is no doubt that the anti-system parties will rise and the system ones will pay the political price for the crisis.

Is European bureaucracy aware of how far it is from the public and is it doing something to change this?

Firstly, this question is not new. Since the existence of the European Community and subsequently the European Union, bureaucracy has been the eternal justification of all evils. We need to know something else, namely that this bureaucracy and Europe has not been created alone. It is the work of the member states and the contracts they have concluded. Nothing in the European Union can be donewithout their approval.

There is a demagogy, according to which our national government does everything that is good and everything bad comes from Brussels. That is what European politicians say when they return to their countries. When they come here, they say the opposite, "Europe is the solution." And they state this even when they take no decisions or take half-way decisions.
