Is this a crucial European issue for them? My understanding, quite likely wrong, is that this doesn't change Greece's relationship within the EU but involves accepting money from them in exchange for more cuts to balance their books.
It's a financial decision for the government to make, it is the type of decision they are elected to make. There are no constitution changes involved either.
