The 5 clear recommendations it contain I have always subscribed to:<br />- Kick out corruption by beginning with yourself, in your own community.<br />- Start innovating your tourism sector.<br />- Get working on the small signs of economic recovery.<br />- Start working with Turkey as an ally.<br />- Work together, use your brains.<br />To the reply that it cannot be implemented due to the lack of justice, I can only say "create justice". Justice in Belgium (or any other nation) was not created by divine power(s), it was created by the people living in the nations. I do not think people in Belgium take justice for granted, I think they strive every day to uphold it. If the Greek people find that is too difficult to create in such a short time, then: The Task Force for Greece is here to help you do just such things, they will allocate you all the expert resources that you wish, free of charge, you just have to ask, they are here for you. It is my experience that Greeks wish for justice and fairness, except for the ones that profit from the lack of it.<br />LennardAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882645467378797266.post-4089330623678398422013-11-13T09:11:05.497+01:002013-11-13T09:11:05.497+01:00I definitely agree with our friend from Belgium.

Nobody feels that justice is present in Greece. If this continues then I don’t believe anything will really change. Because only then the feeling of fairness, meritocracy etc will help all these clever people to exploit the opportunities available. Perhaps this is the reason why so many Greeks have been so successful abroad.<br />AxolotlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
