Greece’s public sector is rife with clientelism (to gain votes) and cronyism (to gain favors) – far more so than in other parts of Europe. Maximum pensions for public employees relative to wages are nearly twice as high as in Spain; the government favors business elites with tax-free status; and some state employees draw their salaries without actually turning up for work.
希腊公共部门充斥着侍从主义（clientelism，以获得选票）和裙带主义（cronyism，以获得帮助）——远甚于欧洲其他国家。公职人员退休金与工资的最大比例是西班牙的近两倍；政府用免税地位宽待商业经营；一些国家雇员吃着空饷。
