The irony is that Germany also owes Greece $300 billion, but refuses to acknowledge it. The German position towards Greece is extremely hypocritical, selfish, and undermining the stability of the EU.<p>Also, if a company borrowed money and couldn&#x27;t repay it, they can declare bankruptcy and have their debt restructured. Greece needs to have their debt restructured. Most financial experts say it&#x27;s irresponsible to expect them to pay it all back, but Germany took those debts from the banks (in order to protect the banks) when it was already clear Greece couldn&#x27;t pay, and then used their political weight to enforce full repayment.<p>The way Germany treated Greece is disgraceful and foolish on several different levels, and it&#x27;s extremely damaging to the EU.
