But for this to be possible, interest payments must always be made on time, and the sanctity of debt contracts must always take precedence over electoral promises regarding pensions, wages, and public spending. Now that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s government has been forced to acknowledge the unqualified priority of debt servicing, and can now benefit from unlimited monetary support from the ECB, Greece should have little problem supporting its debt burden, which is no heavier than Japan’s or Italy’s.
但要让这一幕发生，必须按时支付利息，并且债务契约的神圣性永远高于关于退休金、工资和公共支出的选举承诺。如今，希腊总理齐普拉斯政府被迫承认了支付债务利息才是至高无上的当务之急，因此可以获得来自欧洲央行的无限量货币支持，因此，希腊支持其并不比日本或意大利更沉重的债务负担应该没有什么问题。
