Greeks back government's red lines, but want to keep euro
Cash-strapped Greeks remain supportive of the leftist government's tough negotiating style, according to a new poll published Sunday, but hope for a deal with creditors that will keep the euro in their wallets.
The poll conducted in May by Public Issue for the pro-government newspaper Avgi, shows 54 percent backing the SYRIZA-led government's handling of the negotiations despite the tension with Greece's international lenders.
A total 59 percent believe Athens must not give in to demands by its creditors, with 89 percent against pension cuts and 81 percent against mass lay-offs...
with 71 percent of those polled wanting to keep the euro while 68 percent said a return to the drachma could worsen the economic situation.

I gather there's no truth in the rumour the lamb was given to Herr Schäuble by Varoufakis as a subtle way of saying "**** ewe".
