“Greece trick to bend on bonds” is written on the online edition of Focus newspaper. The statement is reported in “Diaspora Bonds” and notes: “No investor is willing to lend Greece. So, the Greek government is now targeted in the Greeks patriotism.”
The comment in the financial newspaper Handelsblatt is more ironic than that. It states: “The act of invention. Now, Greeks abroad should help Greeks overcome their debts. Using the ‘Diaspora Bond’ Mr. Papakonstantinou (photo) seek to benefit from the Greek property abroad. But why stopping there? There’s always the possibility of putting a solidarity tax at the Gyros sold in the Greek restaurants abroad or extra tax in beverages and food of Greek stores, or additionally, trying the successful model of Tupperware parties in order to promote not plastics utensils but the bonds instead.”
