Germany’s parliament votes next week on whether to go ahead with the next phase of the Greek bailout.
On our recent trip to Germany, we talked to lots of people who think parliament should block the bailout. That’s understandable, given the painful changes Germany went through to get its own house in order a few years back.
But a surprising number of people told us they do support a bailout — often for very idealistic reasons.
