Greek Finance Minister Yianis Voaroufakis has turned into a symbol of hope for many austerity-stricken Greeks and other Europeans that have seen their quality of life degrading as a result of EU’s austerity-driven policies.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was recently elected on the premise to bring back the “lost dignity of Greece” as well as change course to the austerity-driven Greek economy. Tsipras saw in Varoufakis the man who can accomplish the task as Greece’s Finance Minister.

Over the past week twitter users shared different montages showing their feelings, and the many faces of the man trying to do the impossible: convince Chancellor Merkel that austerity doesn’t work!
