(UPD) Greek Deputy PM Swears At Indignant Greeks in real “French” (video)
Posted by keeptalkinggreece in Politics, Society
UPDATE: This morning Deputy PM Pangalos explained to private SKAI TV that he was refering to those wishing Greece exits the Eurozone, when he was speaking of “communists, fascists and ass*****.” Not the Indignant Greeks.
Read how the story circulated on internet. – However, as there is a ‘sharp editing’ on the interview footage….
And here we are with a major political issue. “Political” in terms that here comes the Greek deputy Prime Minister Theodoros Pangalos and swears at Greek citizens, precisely the “Indignant Greeks” movement. Speaking to French television TV5 and “Le monde en marche” programme, the deputy PM swears at the movement with ”French” in real …French!
“Ils sont des communistes, ils sont des fascistes et est sont des con” Pangalos said in 2:55 footage minute stunning the French audience -I assume- and triggering an outrage among Greeks. This remarkable sentence that shows if nothing else a high culture nivaeu translates into English as “They are communists, they are fascists and they are as*h**s”. In Greek we translate it simply as “mal***s”.

Of course, the French Journalist could ask Pangalos to ”Define Communists, Fascists and “Con” – but he didn’t…
The interview footage makes the rounds around the internet like crazy.
Theodoros Pangalos has angered many social groups in the past for swearing at them. Not only he described readers of a certain Greek newspaper as Animals, he also put the whole blame on citizens for ‘blackmailing politicians through trading votes for a work place.

This fine gentleman is in the habit of not only using foul language, but also to blame everybody but himself for the shhh…. eh… bad situation? we are in here.
Just two days ago he stated something along the lines of: The memorandum failed because we failed to curb spending and raise revenue by curbing tax evasion. GREAT! At last a government minister correctly defining the problem! Eh… and then he went on blaming his colleagues in the new cabinet Papaconstantinou and Venizelos. Als his fellow minister Papoutsis was blamed for him, the great Big P, not being able any-more to walk across Syntagma… And his own role in this all? No role at all. He had only an advisory and not legislative competence. That was fun!
But what I really do not understand is why he is still one of the TWO vice-PMs this bloated government has, when he is just an advisor… In many countries I know he would be sent packing long ago. And those are countries with coalition governments, which makes sacking a lot more difficult. We probably have to chalk this one up at the list “To Do” to get Greece healthy for it’s citizens again.
aaahhh, we call them “lip confessions”. Also Papandreou told DER SPIEGEL “I made mistakes”. Also FinMin cries before announce a new austerity measure “Oh, it is so unjust”. So what? They do their polit-jobs and we ours.
Keratea had the right answer to him: Iaourti-Power!
the sad thing is that although he has insulted every single greek at one time or another, although he is at the hear tof the corruption, although he is a useless piece of <> i bet you any amount of money that in the next elections he will be voted in again. making him write in calling us m……s. cos what else do you call people who vote for someone who insults and degrades them.
