Some problems:
1) Many Germans translate whatever Nikos Dimou said ,as they want.
Especially with the media propaganda they have there.
2) Nikos Dimou confuses childish behaviour with immaturity and doesn’t refer to the context of the Egyptian priests’ comment.
3) Nikos Dimou doesn’t have a clue that the individual problems of every country and any culture have nothing to do with the broader crisis.

So he too falls in the German trap of connecting personal Greek behaviour with the crisis ,as the EU leaders intented.
All in all ,he is right. We like to overdo it. It is nobody’s business since we hurt nobody and especially since the crisis is not ours.
Noone lived beyond one’s means ,even if a Greek wanted to ,simply because of constantly higher prices and diminishing quality of life.
And if a Greek lived beyond one’s means ,it is his problem. He worked for it ,he pays for it. Period.
No German will cover the vast European manipulation behind our habits.
Nikos Dimou should lift his eyes from the books and look around him.
