It is important to remember that the creditors in this instance are not a bunch of oligarchs or wealthy private bankers, but the governments of the other eurozone countries, democratically accountable to their own electorates. (Whether they did the right thing in 2012 by lending to Greece so that their own bankers could be repaid is a legitimate, but separate question.)
在这个例子中，债权人不是一小撮寡头和富有的私人银行家，而是需要被自身选民民主问责的其他欧元区国家政府，记住这一点很重要。（它们在2012年贷款给希腊以使本国银行家能获得偿付是否正确是一个合理质疑，但这是另一个问题。）这不是希腊“德莫斯”（demos，即人民）与银行家之间的冲突，而是欧洲民主国家之间的冲突。
