It seems that the German press has really taken an active
interest in these elections. Following in the footsteps of the German
Financial Times, it was Bild's turn to turn up the heat on Saturday,
with a letter adressed to all Greeks on the eve of the electional
battle.
The letter, written in both Greek and German is as follows.
"Dear Greeks,
You are a proud people, a proud nation. Tomorrow (today) you have yet another set of elections.
You say: We're free. Bild says: It's in your hands. There is a difference.
If you did not want our billions, it would have been fine by us
for you to vote for any leftists or rightist clown you wanted. But for
over two years now, the situation is like this:
Your ATM's continue to give you euros, only because we put them there, the Germans and the other nations that have the euro.
Yet you still, calls us Nazis, which we do not fine funny. But anyway.
But let's be clear on this:
If the elections are won by parties that want to put an end to
austerity and reform, breaching every agreement, we will stop paying.
The agreement was: you fix your country and meanwhile we will help
you. If you do not want this anymore, then we do not want it either.
It's in your hands.
You have elections tomorrow (today). But you have no options. You
will choose between painful logic and complete disaster. And we are very
much afraid that you don't get that yet.
Yours in friendship
Your Bild.".
The letter of course leaves little to the imagination, presenting a
non-choice that points towards the pro-austerity parties. Whether
letters or press "orders" like these will have the desired effect
remains to be seen, but with the people of Greece straining for survival
in harsh times and panic inducing scenarios at an all time high, Bild's
printed guesswork -essentially- is just that.
