The influential Polish businessman Jan Kulczyk is questioning whether EU funds going to the Greece rescue package could be better spent in Africa, where there is more opportunity to create a new market that would benefit Europe in the long-run.
“We should consider if we can afford to spend €330bn on Greece, where 8 million people live, so it will not go bankrupt,” said Kulczyk. “We could give €13bn to rescue people who are dying of hunger in Africa. China is now expanding in Africa, spending €20m in aid, while we rescue Greece.” Kulczyk added: “Greece is a poor country of the rich people, while Africa is a rich continent of poor people.”
