Not to judge a book by its cover :-) - Yanis Varoufakis, the self-styled (former) Greek Finance Minister, holds dual citizenship (majority of his assets could be in Australia), carried a backpack (with a headphone lead popping out) to most of the high level meetings he attended with the EU, rode a bike to work , flew economy on more than one occasion and resigned today to allow the Government negotiate a better deal with the EU.
