Once the information appeared that German politicians wanted Minister of Finance Yanis Varoufakis replaced and so did journalists from Europe, we could not help but ask our readers, "What do you think of Greek Minister of Finance Yanis Varoufakis?"

31% of readers of the Bulgarian page of the website think that the behaviour of Yanis Varoufakis is arrogant and bad for Greece. At the same time, the responses that approve the Greek Minister of Finance and give him a chance rank second and third. 26% of respondents prefer the option that he has his own style and the future will show whether it is successful. 21% of readers of this version consider Yanis Varoufakis as a great Minister of Finance. 12% believe that he will be the first minister who will leave office and 11% share the view that his negligence is the reason for the Minister not to be taken seriously. 54% disapproval compared to 46% approval.

More pronounced is the opinion of the readers of the English page of GRReporter, although the vote is polarised too. 39% think that the Greek Minister of Finance has his own style, which will be evaluated over time. 30% think he is a fabulous Minister of Finance whose actions are an example of a man with his status and position. 16% of readers of the English version fear that the actions of Varoufakis are arrogant and bad for Greece. The options that nobody takes him seriously because of his casual style of dressing (9%) and that he will be first minister to be replaced (6%) rank last in the poll.

Readers of the Greek version of the website have most clearly expressed support for Yanis Varoufakis. 46% are of the opinion that the Minister has his own style and only the future will show whether it is successful. 26% consider him a great Minister of Finance, who acts like a Minister of Finance should act. 14% find his behaviour arrogant and bad for Greece. 11% disapprove his coat collar upturned and shirt untucked because of which nobody takes Yanis Varoufakis seriously. Only 3% are of the opinion that he will be the first minister of the new Greek government to be replaced.

Whether Europe likes Yanis Varoufakis and his actions and behaviour as Greece’s Minister of Finance or not, it is clear that readers of GRReporter rather approve the Minister and are willing to trust him.
