In dictionare, locutiunea franceza ne duce cu gandul la specificul bucatariei grecesti – “in the Greek manner; cooked in wine, olive oil, lemon juice, herbs, and spices, and usually served cold”, dar cum zilele acestea vor fi pline de comentarii la adresa gestului Primului Ministru Georgios Papandreu – mi-am spus ca trebuie sa verificam un pic despre cine e vorba si mai ales, ce limba se vorbeste cu adevarat in propozitie?
Propunerea de salvare a Greciei a fost facuta pe cat de serios, pe atat de neclar – intr-o limba “europeana” 🙂 cu puternic accent franco-german, fara a tine seama de situatia si posibilitatile reale de intelegere ale uneia dintre cele mai vechi natiuni ale planetei. Fratioare, cand spui “Grecia” – te cutremuri cu respect pentru cate au dat istoriei gandului, nu ii umilesti ca nu le-ar placea sa munceasca, ca stau cu mana intinsa la ajutoare! Care ajutoare sunt de fapt acordate cu mana larga pentru plata cu prioritate a … dobanzilor restante?!
Grecul s-a lasat o vreme luat la misto, insa acum a transmis tuturor o lectie despre cum se face politica: REFERENDUM e un cuvant tare, pe muche de cutit. Dar cutitul trebuia scos, macar pe jumatate (!) din teaca – iar liderii europeni ne-au aratat ca nu si-au facut deloc temele cu privire la personaj, care vorbeste mai degraba… limba “americana” :-)!
Cititi scurta biografie a Presedintelui Internationalei Socialiste, pentru a constata cu uimire si respect ca este cel de-al treilea Prim Ministru din Familia Sa, in ordine directa … Cu un asemenea politician, nu te poti juca de-a salvatul, pentru ca nu se va lasa inecat prea usor!
Grecia are de-acum spatiu de manevra si de negociere. Felicitari! Acum e clar pentru toata lumea ca limba europeana nu se vorbeste corect decat cu accent … american, nu? 🙂
George Papandreu - Grecia are un Prim Ministru pe masura confruntarilor actuale! De-acum urmeaza Summit-urile adevarate UE-SUA (si largite UE-SUA-CHINA-RUSIA)...
