What The Economist is basically saying is that from it's point of view Greece doesn't need nor should have an elected government, because the fanatical neoliberal organs and their henchmen know better.
They know better, the Greek government is wrong in everything and should just obey. No point in Greek government or independence then, is it?

The obsession about retirement age is especially laughable, considering the sky-high unemployment among the younger age groups. Every year that people over 60 work is taken from the the youth, sidelining them more from the job market. It's just fanatical ideology that makes the Troika demand it.

And the German posturing about debts is laughable. In the Paris Peace Treaty in 1947 Germany was ordered to pay my country reparations for it's schorched earth policy. We paid our own war reparations by 1952. To this day East Germany, West Germany and united Germany have paid us exactly 0 euros and have always resisted and still resist any talk about them paying those debts.

The Germans love the myths about their economy and national characters, but at the end of the day they are people who burn your provincial capital and for 68 years refuse to pay the compensation they were ordered to pay, while pretending to be avatars of economic competence, prudence and thriftiness that all should emulate.

When it comes to Greece, the Germans bribed Greek politicians, officials and military to buy German military hardware by the billions, part of it broken when delivered, like some of the submarines. Now all those bribes are forgotten by the Germans. More sickening posturing from them.
