lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, it has become a journalistic cliché to talk about the events in Greece as a tragedy, but I think we can fairly define them as a tragedy in the classic Sophoclean sense. We had the hubris of the boom years when we pretended that Greek and German debt were interchangeable. Now we have the nemesis of the overdue market correction. But the catharsis has been artificially stayed. Rather than allowing a natural market correction, which is to say, Greece minting its own currency and pricing itself back into the European markets, we are instead pursuing this policy of pretending that better statistics or more regional aid or more shifting around of money through sales taxes or European debt agencies will somehow postpone the inevitable. In fact, what we are doing is condemning the people of Greece and – I hope I am wrong – possibly the people of the other Mediterranean countries to years of recession, stagnation and unemployment – but we are at least generating employment for ourselves because we are justifying our own existence. Thus we see the true purpose of the European Union, namely, the employment of its own employees."@en⁴

lpv:translated text	"Pane předsedající, stalo se už určitým novinářským klišé hovořit o událostech v Řecku jako o tragédii, domnívám se však, že je lze poměrně dobře označit za tragédii v klasickém sofoklovském smyslu. Zažili jsme pýchu v dobách rozmachu, kdy jsme předstírali, že řecké a německé dluhy jsou stejné. Nyní prožíváme odplatu v podobě zpožděných korekcí na trhu. Katarze však byla uměle přerušena. Namísto abychom umožnili přirozené korekce na trhu, což by znamenalo nechat Řecko tisknout vlastní měnu a vrátit se na evropské trhy prostřednictvím vlastní cenotvorby, uskutečňujeme politiku předstírání, že lepší statistické výsledky, větší množství regionální pomoci a větší přesuny prostředků prostřednictvím daně z obratu nebo Evropské dluhové agentury nějak oddálí nevyhnutelné. Odsuzujeme obyvatele Řecka – a doufám, že se mýlím – patrně i obyvatele dalších středomořských států k rokům hospodářského poklesu, ke stagnaci a k nezaměstnanosti – zajišťujeme však alespoň zaměstnanost sami sobě, protože odůvodňujeme svou vlastní existenci. Tady vidíme, v čem spočívá skutečný účel Evropské unie: zaměstnanost jejích vlastních zaměstnanců."@cs¹ "Mr President, it has become a journalistic cliché to talk about the events in Greece as a tragedy, but I think we can fairly define them as a tragedy in the classic Sophoclean sense.

Kreekas aset leidnud sündmuste kujutamine tragöödiana on saanud lausa ajakirjanduslikuks klišeeks – pean siiski nõustuma, et võime neid sündmusi tragöödiana käsitleda klassikalises Sophoklese antud tähenduses. Olime majandusbuumi aastatel liiga enesekindlad, kui tegime näo, et Kreeka ja Saksamaa võlad on samaväärsed. Nüüd on meil probleeme turuolukorra hilinenud parandamisega. Katarsis on aga peatatud tehislikul viisil. Selle asemel et lasta turuolukorral loomulikul viisil paraneda, mis tähendaks seda, et Kreeka annaks välja omaenda raha ning tooks end selle alusel Euroopa turgudele tagasi, järgime hetkel endiselt poliitikat, mille kohaselt teeme näo, nagu lükkaks parem statistika, suurem piirkondlik abi, müügimaksudest saadava tulu ümberpaigutamine või Euroopa võlaagentuurid vältimatut kuidagi edasi. Tegelikult tähendab niisugune tegevus seda, et määrame Kreeka ja – loodan, et ma siinkohal eksin – võib-olla ka teiste Vahemere riikide elanike saatuseks mitmeid aastaid kestva majanduslanguse, arenguseisaku ja tööpuuduse, kuid nii loome enda eksisteerimist õigustades vähemalt endale töökohti. Nõnda tulebki välja Euroopa Liidu tõeline eesmärk – oma töötajate töölevõtmine."@et⁵ "Mr President, it has become a journalistic cliché to talk about the events in Greece as a tragedy, but I think we can fairly define them as a tragedy in the classic Sophoclean sense.

Abbiamo vissuto l’hubris degli anni del boom, quando fingevamo che il debito greco e tedesco fossero intercambiabili. Ora subiamo la nemesis della correzione del mercato, da tempo dovuta. Ma la catarsi è stata sospesa artificialmente. Invece di consentire una correzione naturale del mercato, vale a dire lasciare che la Grecia battesse la sua moneta e rientrasse poi nei mercati europei in base ad un prezzo da essa stabilito, stiamo perseguendo una politica della finzione secondo cui statistiche migliori, aiuti regionali più consistenti o una ricircolazione del denaro mediante imposte sulle vendite o agenzie europee del debito riusciranno in qualche modo a rimandare l’inevitabile. Di fatto, stiamo condannando i cittadini greci e – spero di sbagliarmi – forse i cittadini di altri paesi mediterranei ad anni di recessione, stagnazione e disoccupazione – ma per lo meno generiamo occupazione per noi, visto che giustifichiamo la nostra stessa esistenza. Vediamo quindi con chiarezza quale sia il vero obiettivo dell’Unione europea, segnatamente garantire il lavoro dei suoi dipendenti."@it¹² "Mr President, it has become a journalistic cliché to talk about the events in Greece as a tragedy, but I think we can fairly define them as a tragedy in the classic Sophoclean sense.
