PARIS – Despite what many are saying – especially those who do not have to bear the consequences of their words – Greek voters’ rejection on Sunday of the latest bailout offer from their country’s creditors did not represent a “victory for democracy.” For democracy, as the Greeks know better than anyone, is a matter of mediation, representation, and orderly delegation of power.
巴黎—不管很多人怎么说——特别是那些不需要为言论承担后果的人——希腊选民星期日拒绝希腊债权人最新的援助方案并不代表“民主的胜利”。民主——希腊人应该比其他任何人都更懂得民主——是关于调停、代表和有序权力委托的事情。
