Wherever you are around the world there is no escape from the news about Greece's economic problems. For the Angela merkals and George Osbornes of this world there is a misunderstanding about how this affects the normal Greek citizen. Being half Greek Half English it is hard to understand why my homeland is so lawless and backwards.
One major problem is that the Greek public sector is very badly organized and money allocated for it is just wasted on €900,000 on chemicals for the police or spent on a railway system which only 4 people seem to use.
It is of course every humans right to protest against their goverment and until the Papandreau administration understand it nothing will change.
So if i was George Papandreau I would do these things
1. Make Greek MP's accountable for misuse of expenses
2. Review and change the public sector and change to private where it is needed
3. Review the police system
4. Allow a democratic election where the leader isn't a papandreau or karamanlis
5. Hold a public vote on what government policy and economics should be
For a country where democracy was born it needs to look in the mirror for a long time! As a wise friend said to me Greece's worst enemy is Greece itself.
