Der Standard: Greek voters are like drunks who can’t get home

Nothing will change in Greece whatever the election results, writes the paper

Newsroom September 19 10:39

Austrian newspaper ‘Der Standard’ writes Greeks are like drunkards leaving a bar and seeking a way to get home: By car or catch the bus, commenting on Sunday’s September 20 elections. The newspaper dubs the process as ‘The elections of disappointment’, pointing out that whatever the outcome the country’s creditors will ‘call the shots’, at least on the economic decisions. ‘On the July 6 referendum the Greeks voted a resounding ‘No’ to Athens’s creditors, but on the Sunday elections there is no passion or something at stake’, writes the ‘Der Standard’. The piece underlines that these elections are the pinnacle of Greece’s political capitulation, claiming that nobody in Greece believes the 3rd bailout plan will end the country’s economic woes.
