Greek thoughts about Germany
posted by Haris Michopoulos in Greece forum
Hi!
It varies. Some people admire your politics for fighting for the good of their country. We wish we had such politics fighting for the good of Greece.
But there are many people, especially these who like the old-and-current corrupted Greece (with the huge public sector where people are paid for doing nothing) that seek excuses and blame others (in that case, Germany).
But, let me tell you this. Many people who work hardly in private companies (and a few in public sector) really want the public sector to shrink, they do want to work but at the same time they want to get paid equally, to have functional and fair public services, good schools, good hospitals, etc.
In other words, those who are used to do nothing and get paid hate Germany, the rest who work hard want a better Greece but our politicians are not eager to change Greece towards fairness because their power depends directly on the lack of justice and meritocracy.
