We don't know anything about German/Greek politics, so we were surprised when we came across this letter that a German paper wrote to Greece. To get the background you'll have to click here.
Dear prime minister,
If you're reading this, you've entered a country different from yours. You're in Germany.
Here, people work until they are 67 and there is no 14th-month salary for civil servants. Here, nobody needs to pay a €1,000 bribe to get a hospital bed in time.
Our petrol stations have cash registers, taxi drivers give receipts and farmers don't swindle EU subsidies with millions of non-existent olive trees.
Germany also has high debts but we can settle them. That's because we get up early and work all day.
We want to be friends with the Greeks. That's why since joining the euro, Germany has given your country €50bn.
Do you know anything about this? Initial thoughts??
I think there is nothing to be proud of not having to pay a bribe...If a state is corrupted that is not the poeple's fault. and Believe me Greeks wake up as early and even before Germans. And thev two Jobs instead of one and go back at home at 10pm. This is the most racist and insulting letter I have read.
ReplyDeletethis is racist.and you know something I AM PROUD TO BE GREEK.no matter what you say about my country.I live my life in contrast with you that dont even get a life.Just work all day and you are under the impression that this what you live called life.
