Ευτυχώς (για τους Ναζί...) που αυτές οι ΔΥΣΦΗΜΙΣΤΙΚΕΣ πινακίδες η επιγραφή "Most Germans own a second property. It’s called Greece." βρίσκονται σε ΟΛΑ τα Αγγλικά τρένα και "Διαφημίζουν" ένα αγγλικό περιοδικό το Spectator...
Είναι ΒΕΒΑΙΟ ότι η χώρα θα αποσπάσει ΣΗΜΑΝΤΙΚΟ ποσό από τους ΑΙΣΧΡΟΥΣ τύπους που αυτοαποκαλούνται "διαφημιστές" , και συγχρόνως θα έδινε το μήνυμα ότι πλακίτσες , αστειάκια , και εξευτελισμός εις βάρος μίας χώρας δεν μπορεί να γίνεται ατιμωριτί ...
Βλέποντας αυτές τις "διαφημίσεις" μου γεννάται άλλη μία απορία: Οι διπλωμάτες μας στην Αγγλία (και στις λοιπές χώρες γενικά...) ΠΑΡΑΚΟΛΟΥΘΟΥΝ το τι γίνεται και πράττεται υπέρ η κατά της χώρας μας εκεί όπου τους έχουμε στείλει (ακριβοπληρώνοντας τους...) , ή κάνουν την ζωή τους ΑΔΙΑΦΟΡΟΝΤΑΣ για τα πάντα;;
Το Υπ. Εξωτερικών θα πρέπει ΣΗΜΕΡΑ κιόλας να δράσει...
Αν συνεχισθεί αυτή η αδιαφορία , ας μήν παραξενευτεί κανείς που ο τουρισμός θα μειωθεί φέτος τόσο , όσο καμία προηγούμενη χρονιά...
ΓΡΑΜΜΑ ΤΟΥ ΕΛΛΗΝΑ ΠΡΕΣΒΗ ΣΤΟ ΠΕΡΙΟΔΙΚΟ:
ΑπάντησηΔιαγραφήDear Sir,
It was with astonishment and frustration that the provocative poster, referring to my country, included in your ad campaign and aiming – as I understand – at promoting your esteemed magazine, came to my attention.
Stating that “Germans Own a Second Property. It’s called Greece” is extremely inaccurate and offensive to Greece and the Greek people. It should be crystal clear to you and any objective reader, that such an unfortunate – to say the least – advertisement would be insulting not only to Greece, but to any proud and sovereign nation.
During the past three years, the Greek sovereign debt crisis has received world wide attention. Greece has committed to the toughest austerity program in modern history, with cuts deeper and faster than any country has undergone in living memory. Hefty tax hikes, pension and wage cuts have reduced the primary budget deficit from 24,7 bn euros to 5,2 bn in just two years, although this huge effort did unquestionably have a dramatic impact on the life of every Greek. Today, with the help of our European partners, we are focusing on structural reforms, in order to create a modern and productive new Greece, within the European family. That’s why, I believe, Greece and it’s people deserve everybody’s respect for their efforts and sacrifices.
Whatever the concept behind your extremely vague and controversial advertisement might be, only one thing is certain: Using such a deliberately provocative phrase that literally distorts reality, certainly attracts people’s attention. At the same time however, it constitutes a vulgar violation of all the press ethical rules, that all media should hold dear at all times, provided of course that they respect their readers.
It is therefore in the name of ethical, accurate and responsible journalism, that I call upon you to immediately withdraw this offensive poster, which in any case does not do you any merit.
I am certain that you will agree with me that it is high time to end this brutal and unjust beating up of a country, which has been trying extremely hard and is arguably achieving considerable results.
Yours sincerely,
Aristidis Sandis
Ambassador
