  1. Thank you for explaining. However, no one stuck a gun to our heads to take out loans. They knew we were playing with numbers, they could never imagine the number of zeros we were playing with. We did that ourselves. 280 billion euros debt for a country of 10 million (legal) citizens is A LOT of debt and it wasn’t just our corrupt governments. They showed us good faith and our government took advantage. We, as citizens took advantage too. We too took part in the lies, bribing to get tickets erased, bribing to pay less taxes, not paying taxes on private lessons, shall I go on? I remember hearing from 1992 – 2005 ‘The northern Europeans are stupid. Kala pernamei. Poy na katalavoun;’. That is why the Europeans, particularly the Germans are so angry and frustrated with us, we lied and cheated. We lost our integrity.
    For us to even begin gaining our honor back, if we want to stay in the EU, we must accept responsibility and show our fellow EU members that we take our commitments seriously. Go after the really big fish first. Arrest the powerful families and politicians who stole and embezzled the money. Tzohatzopoulos is the tip of the iceberg. REALLY go after them. Force Parliament to change the laws whereby politicians are exempt. Give the Greek federal judges the right to veto the laws created by Parliament. Give the EU the list of families who usurped our nation and are now because of their greed, starving our nation. Go after the entourage of those families too. Ask the EU for help since our laws are so Byzantine.
    Once the Europeans and our fellow citizens see that we are going after the Greek Bernie Madoffs, then they may begin to listen. Then we may be able to renegotiate our loans. Right now all we see on the out of Greece are politicians running around in circles like the Greek Three Stooges (even Vegos would be impressed), riots, protests, and molotov cocktails. Get the big fish. Give the Greek people some hope and pride back.

    I hope Syriza can pull this off because New Democracy and PASOK surely didn’t. I hope Tsipras and Syriza have the strength, courage and integrity to do what ND and PASOK couldn’t- have the leadership skills to rule an exhausted nation. Have the strength to throw away the Byzantine mentality and modernize so Greece can be competitive in the 21st century. Have the ethics to stop corruption so we as a nation can have our integrity back.

  2. You are discussing the issue with an ignorant Journalist… It was never an issue of if they meet the conditions or if they cheated to get in. It is an issue that the Germany-Brussels axis wanted to create the EU to conquer and rule it… without firing a shot, only by printing Euros. It has been widely publicized that the books were cooked with swaps from Goldman Sachs while their stooge Papadimas was the president of the Greek Central bank.. They did not know ha ha ha…Ignorance will allow the stupidest argumentations. To argue from the point of ignorance is what a fool does

    “Talk sense to a Fool and he calls you Foolish.” –Euripedes

    And tons of people talk from a position of ignorance.

    “Complacent ignorance is the most lethal sickness of the soul.” –Plato

    and worse yet… they are trying to sell the idea that if Greece defaults it will be cataclysmic and people will die of hunger.. Ask Iceland how ti bucked the Banks and defaulted, and how they did to spur the recovery.. Many countries defaulted … they recover faster than they will with this vise grip the Troika is using to strangle Greece. And tons of people talk from a position of ignorance.
