Guest
Die ganze Wirtschaftskrise in Griechenland überschattet das kulturelle und geistige Erbe dieses Landes. Griechenland bringt immer noch viele internationale bekannte Größen heraus, die entweder in Griechenland selber oder in der riesigen griechischen Diaspora zu finden sind. Hierbei sind vor allem die USA und Australien hervorzuheben, in denen besonders viele Griechen leben.

Ja und nein es sind teilweise wichtige Persönlichkeiten und man kann sie nicht alle als Verräter abstempeln. Maria Menounos zum Beispiel hat den Eurovision Song Contest 2006 moderriert und die mächtige griechische Lobby in den USA hat Einflus auf die Politik. Ferner sammeln momentan in Zeiten der Krise viele Auslandsgriechen Geld und schicken es nach Griechenland.
 
Hier noch ein Bericht von CNN
With crisis at home, Greek-Americans to economic rescue?

Larisa Antypa was ready for her cruise in the Caribbean when news of the economic crisis in Greece, her home country, began to worsen.Antypa, a program coordinator for the Greek Cultural Center in Astoria, Queens, canceled her trip and decided that she would instead spend her vacation money in Greece.
Like a growing number of her fellow expatriates, Antypa hopes to bolster the teetering Greek economy -- roiled again on Tuesday by a wave of violent protests and a countrywide strike against proposed austerity measures -- through tourism. It accounts for 15% of the country's jobs and 18% of its GDP, according to the Greek Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

"I want to support Greece by spending my money there; it's very important when your country's in trouble to do whatever you can," Antypa said. "I ask people why they're going back, why they don't go somewhere else, and they say, 'Now, Greece needs us.' "
Antypa said that more members of her community, largely motivated by pride of country, are vacationing in Greece than ever before. This perception was corroborated by Ted Spyropoulos, president of the U.S. chapter of the World Council of Hellenes Abroad, who said the number of Greek-Americans visiting home has surged and is expected to increase anywhere from 20% to 30% in 2011 from 2010.
"(Greeks) have an obligation to go because Greece needs the help right now," said Spyropoulos, who added his organization has launched a campaign to encourage Greek-Americans to travel there. "There's been a call from outside that Greece needs help."
This year's 10% increase in income from American tourists, who spend three times more than the average traveler, was huge for Greece's economic development, said Chris Petsilas, the director of the U.S. office of the Greek National Tourism Organization. Despite Greece's debt crisis and crippling unemployment, Pestilas said tourism is booming.
"In crises, other tourists postpone their trips to our country; this year, the Greek-Americans will come and they will bring all their friends," Pestilas said.
Pestilas added that the Greek government had encouraged tourism from Americans by loosening regulations on cruise ships, eliminating taxes for airlines and cutting fees for hotels.
Still, for many Greek-Americans, attempts to visit Greece have been hamstrung by high airfare prices and a sputtering economy at home.
 
Wen interessiert das? Wenn sie Einfluss haben, dann sind sie mitverantwortlich für die Scheiße, die gerade passiert. Da kenne ich kein Wenn und Aber.

Wir sind wirklich dumm, dass wir zu solchen Leuten auch noch aufschauen.
