Even Deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos, who said he faced selling real estate to pay the new property tax, admitted Greeks' pain threshold is being tested. "I think that the tax-paying limits of Greek society have been exhausted," he told Mega TV. "But I think that we should act on the other side of the problem, which is spending."
Čak je i potpredsednik vlade Teodoros Pangalos, koji je rekao da se suočava sa prodajom nepokretne imovine da bi platio novi porez na imovinu, priznao da je prag boli Grka sada stavljen na probu. „Mislim da su limiti grčkog društva za plaćanje poreza iscrpljeni“, rekao je on za Mega TV. „Ali, mislim da bi trebalo da reagujemo na drugoj strani problema, a to je potrošnja.“
