    That’s your thank for Schäubles “Griechenlandrettung”? Do you have the slightest idea how much it costed us to give you all the loans you have to pay back with interest? Do you understand our sacrifice we made by forcing all the German companies onto you?

    No seriously, this deeply politicized me back then and I’m to this day voting for the one party that wanted a debt cut for Greece. All I can say is I’m sorry for my country.
