When asked about the suffering that would entail for public sector employees, recipients of public services, and pensioners, he responded: "Most of the money we borrow goes to the banks," not to the Greek people.
Upitan o nedaćama koje bi to donijelo zaposlenima u javnom sektoru, korisnicima javnih usluga i umirovljenicima, odgovorio je: "Većina novca kojeg posuđujemo odlazi bankama", a ne grčkom narodu.
