希腊已成为欧洲的经济危机的雏形，但前总理帕潘德里欧提出，希腊仅是对未来灾难的预演。 “我们的民主政治，”他说，“深陷于庞大得无法坍塌的体系中，抑或庞大得无法驾驭的系统中……像我这样的政治家已经失去了本国人民的信任。”如何解决呢？让公民更直接地重新参与到新的民主决策中来。

乔治·帕潘德里欧: 设想一个跨国界的欧洲民主

Modern democracies, trapped by markets and special interests, risk losing their ability to serve people. During the Greek debt crisis, financial markets forced overnight decisions that shaped millions of lives, exposing the limits of political leadership. Instead of empowering citizens, leaders often resort to blame and austerity, leaving societies divided and distrustful. Reviving democracy means bringing people back into the process and reimagining participation beyond borders.
