Every person from our country lent 500 to Greece. I would gladly transform this for few weeks on Corfu.
A beer for 100 drachmas and gyros for not much more - that was good times. Yamas!
Actually, it was your
banks (including perhaps your central bank) lent to Greek
banks (including presumably the Greek central bank) a mountain of euros. Where that money went, it is not clear;
but anyway the Greek government, that had been elected by the banks, decided that each Greek citizen had to fork 500 euros to pay your banks. Which was the bankers' aim all along: take more wealth from the general public.
Trouble is, the Greek citizens were never asked whether they agreed to any step of that plan, not even told clearly what the plan was.
If they were able (the banks) to elect a government why weren't they able to do the same two days ago?
