It’s not just the EU that’s responsible for all of this. For instance, cronyism and nepotism are deeply rooted in greek society ever since Ottoman rule. In the public sector especially, people can get jobs without any soft of merit whatsoever and even avoid persecution of any kind due to party affiliation or having friends and family members working in the public sector as well.

The fact that the government prioritizes this over all the other problems that plague your average Greek like poverty, horribly maintained or downright unsafe public infrastructure, public health and education being left in ruins forcing people to seek for private counterparts, corruption in every part of the government including the justice system all while oligarchs are experiencing record profits.
