especially noteworthy:
- While economist sense is certain that Greece’s Finance Minister Varoufakis follows a well-calculated plan, political consultant explosive considers him a “show and interview Minister”
- The round was located overall relatively united – in view of their political spectrum
- The historical guilt of Germany against Greece is undisputed, reparations, however not
After the middle finger escalation with Günther Jauch dealt on Monday, Frank Plasbergs roundtable “Hart to Fair” with the theme of Greece. It was felt thousandth talk show on Greece – and yet something crucial has changed: The wind has changed
Another two or three years ago were Greeks critics like Ifo chief Hans-Werner Sinn alone. at the edge. In contrast, Plasberg counted the enterprising economist at almost the moderate center. Even a sentence like “Greece is so or so broke, whether it comes out or not” could no longer shock there.
Politics or production?
For specific resistance attended the performances of the Greek finance minister, be it the finger of the night before, it was the multi-page story in the magazine “Paris Match”, richly illustrated in Athens penthouse. The question that came up very quickly: When it comes to politics here – or just to staging
For a round of the left-front woman Kipping via economist sense to Bild.de-chief Julian? Reichelt had a broad political spectrum, the answers were surprisingly unanimous.
meaning: “Greek government knows very well what they are doing.”
Bild.de boss Reichelt went relatively well, by indirectly accusing Varoufakis to have lied on the eve – the man, as Reichelt put it, “which manages the largest debt crisis in living memory”
.
But also criticized sense that Varoufakis now contradicts his own statements short time ago. However, this is not a sign of naivety, but the calculations of a game theorist: “The Greek government knows very well what they are doing.”
Explosive “show and interview Minister”
” Varoufakis is a show and interview minister, “concluded Michael Spreng, journalist and former editor of Bild am Sonntag – but with the conclusion:” I have the impression that Mr. Varoufakis not matter knows yet made serious efforts “
Even the SPD parliamentary leader Thomas Oppermann struck critical tone, although he stressed that he did not bother to Varoufakis’ middle finger gesture. You’ve already seen in others, he added with a wink. But we should be clear: “Who makes debt, has the responsibility to repay the debt again.” Point to the as Varoufakis in question, destroy the trust
On the side of the Greeks defender found himself next to Kipping only the ex-FDPler and MEP Jorgo Chatzimarkakis. But Kipping went so far as in-capitalist theories in which the current conflict was only one scene, a diversion from the neo-liberal policies.
Chatzimarkakis again defended his second homeland and the young government initially with verve, but suggested the end also conciliatory and called for a “verbal disarmament” of both sides.
“crimes of the Nazis have no expiration date”
For forgiveness also contributed to Plasberg the issue of reparations addressed – and thus the war guilt of the Germans. So blasting said. “We are guilty towards Greece” SPD man Oppermann added: “The historical crimes of the Nazis have no expiration date.” And asked economist mind: “We have to be ashamed of ourselves as German and kneel before the Greeks.”
Nevertheless, and since they all agreed, this issue should be discussed in isolation from the current debt crisis. Whether the historical responsibility should result in reparations to the Greeks as well, however, was controversial – so much so that in between even once was loud
Complete harmony calls the topic Greece still today show.
