A mere 227 of 6,000 Greek islands are inhabited, and that simple fact provided the German MP's Josef Schlarmann (Christian Democrats) and Frank Schaeffler (Free Democrats) the brilliant idea to demand that Greece sell them to the highest bidder.
Their call for this measure comes just a day before Greek PM George Papandreou is to visit German chancellor Angela Merkel for talks concerning the economical crisis Greece is facing. According to a poll published on yesterday, more than 80 percent of Germans think that the EU should not help Greece out of its debt crisis, knowing full well that negotiations about a French-German aid package have been discussed since a few weeks.

The MP's made their call for selling islands and perhaps even the ancient Acropolis in the well known German tabloid Bild Zeiting; translated quotes from the interview can be found from Al Jazeera to BBC News, even the Huffington Post reports about it. Here some quotes showing what the German politicians have apparently said under a headline that screams
"Sell your islands, you bankrupt Greeks - and the Acropolis too!"
