Arja Saijonmaa: En ung naken kvinna  motet med Mikis
I en ledarkolumn i DN (1/10) skrev Richard Swartz om det bedrgliga i att tro att grekerna nµgonsin skulle kunna flja samma regler som tyskarna. Vi har helt enkelt underskattat kulturskillnaderna i vµr iver att omfamna visionen om ett gemensamt Europa. Hur kan nµgon beska till exempel Berlin och Aten utan att se att det rr sig om tvµ helt skilda vrldar? frµgar sig Schwartz (...)Beskrivningen av eurokrisen har en slagsida µt det socialantropologiska som pµ ett intressant stt skiljer sig frµn vrig utrikesrapportering. Ingen skulle offentligt vµga skylla konflikten i Israel pµ den judiska eller arabiska naturen, svltkatastroferna i Somalia pµ den afrikanska mentaliteten. Men det grekiska kaoset r legitimt att frklara med sjlva karaktren hos invµnarna.

Om man satter sig in i detta kan man fa en aning om hur det kanns att vara grek just nu.

GREKLAND Den grekiska regeringen r fast besluten att vidta alla ndvndiga µtgrder fr att skerstlla lnsamheten fr sin ekonomi och bana vg fr µterhmtningen.
