I am certainly able to relate to it.
First of all the current German government has been completly oblivious to the hardships Greece is going trough. By repeating prejudices for political gain Merkel, Kauder and others have certainly shown a complete disregard for hte Greek challenges.
Furthermore German economic policy has been in during the last to decades very much export orientated. Which of course meant large trade surpluses for Germany but also trade deficits for other European countries. I'm not sure how much this is a conscious reason for the protests but it is certainly a reason for the current state of the Greek economy.
And in the end it's quite possible that the current reforms will not even work and thrust the Greek economy even more into crisis.
