In a shocking turn of events, the Greek government has announced that they will be selling Mount Olympus to pay off their national debt. The decision came after months of deliberation and brainstorming by the Greek parliament.
In a press conference, the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis stated, “We have explored all possible avenues to pay off our debt, and this seems to be the most viable option. Mount Olympus is a national treasure, but we must make sacrifices for the greater good.”
The announcement has caused outrage among Greek citizens and the international diaspora alike. Many have questioned the legality and morality of selling such a culturally significant landmark.
However, the Greek government remains optimistic about the sale. “We have already received offers from several interested parties, including Disney, Universal Studios, and Turkiye. We believe that Mount Olympus would make an excellent location for a theme park.”
The sale is set to take place next year, and the government has assured the public that steps will be taken to preserve the natural beauty of the mountain.
In response to the announcement, the opposition wrote, “Greece has always been known for its rich history and culture, but now it seems we’re willing to sell that off for a quick buck. What’s next, selling the Parthenon to a fast-food chain? We hope they reconsider this decision and look for alternative solutions to our debt crisis.”
Spiro from Oakleigh, who was enjoying his Greek coffee, also chimed in stating, “It’s a sad day when these corrupt malakas are willing to sacrifice our glorious ancient Hellenic heritage for financial gains. We must fight for Hellenism and stop these traitors.”
Only time will tell if the sale of Mount Olympus will truly solve Greece’s financial woes or if it will be remembered as a dark chapter in the country’s history.
