On the other hand, he believes that the new emigration will not be in favour of Greece. "It is totally different from previous ones, even for financial reasons if you wish. This time the money that emigrants in the past sent is not here. Moreover, if all the capable people go, who will remain here to help the country emerge from the crisis? Those who protest, resent, break, burn and destroy? That is why I think we should do everything possible to stop this "bleeding," he concluded.
His colleague Geogre Pagoulatos, who is an economic adviser to Prime Minister Lucas Papademos brought a note of optimism to the discussion. He also agreed that contemporary emigration affects mostly educated people. "If an ordinary Greek went abroad to seek any job, he would face "competition" from other people who came from much poorer countries and their pay ceiling is much lower than that of the Greek," he stated his reason.
But in his opinion, the emigration of "minds" can be positive, because these people can travel between the country in which they choose to live and Greece, bringing the experience they have gained there. "In practice, this is not moving, just mobility of people," he said.
