If Greece were to get a write-down on its debt, in whatever way, would that not be beneficial to us who still have a massive debt, still pay €7 billion a year in interest, a figure that will rise? Would it not be in our interest that there would be a European debt conference and a process of write-down of unsustainable debt? I do not understand how it is not in our interests that we have our own debt written down, together with that of Greece, Spain, Portugal, etc.
