With that very public suicide, Christoulas became what one Greek newspaper called a martyred victim of a crushing economic crisis that has created 21% unemployment, closed more than 111,000 businesses, left 500,000 people with no income and no hope and pushed many Greeks into poverty.
S tim vrlo javnim samoubojstvom, Christoulas je postao, kako je napisao jedan grčki list, žrtva-mučenik razorne gospodarske krize koja je dovela do stope nezaposlenosti od 21 posto, do zatvaranja više od 111.000 poduzeća, ostavila 500.000 ljudi bez prihoda i nade te gurnula puno Grka u siromaštvo.
