How about Greece asking Germany to finally pay war reparations? Germany pretends strictness from others, but it plays dumb when it's its turn.

It's kinda a hard thing to ask, when Germany doesn't owe Greece any war reperations.

The London Debt agreement put off any repiration payments until a peace treaty was signed.

Which didn't happen until 1990.

In said treaty Greece agreed to waive all rights to war repirations.

Then another treaty could be done to give Greece on public debt the same benefit Germany received on war debt. Quite fair, I'd say.

Even if Greece waived all rights to reparations, there's still that giant forced loan, I think that's the sum people are actually talking about: waiving rights to reparations would prevent Greece from asking punitive interests on it to pay also the damage done to Greek economy, but Greece still keeps the right to be paid back the forced loan with legal interests on it. It's a loan anyway, remove damages and reparations, you still have the loan and normal interests on it.
