The comments, by two members of the German parliament, were published in the German newspaper Bild under the provocative headline: "Sell your islands, you bankrupt Greeks! And sell the Acropolis too!" One parliamentarian, Frank Schaeffler, told the newspaper, "the Greek government has to take radical steps to sell its property – for example its uninhabited islands."
