It is not that simple. The "Greek people" are not one entity and it is
meaningless to talk about what they are "demanding".

Specifically, if you take Syriza's victorious platform as an indicator of
what the "Greek people" as a whole are "demanding", it looks like they want
two mutually contradictory things: (1) end austerity, and (2) stay within
the Eurozone.

If you have to choose between (1) or (2), which do you choose? The "Greek
people" do not say.
