But he was your best friend...
Germany don't want to pay for Greece, and DSK had always defended you in front of Merkel...
Are you serious?
yes the case of Germany and Finland against Greek depth is another story,
In Greece we know and we quess other reasons,
Greek crisis is because of some Bankers the lend money with x3 or x4 times over than others with bigger depth.
The case of Germany and the Deny was programmed to pass some change in public issues that was accepted with almost no trouble, some economical classes, that had much privileges
the problem was and is corrupted person in places, covered by political parties,
and seems like today only a small % is find, while the situation is the same,
the IMF gave support to Greece cause Greece followed the instructions,
and did not revolt as other places, why? I don't know, But seems Greek society is in Luck of dreamer and modern philosophers,
IMF only check and does not solve problem,
DE FACTO only in my area 13 small corporations just closed and 7 of them moved to Bulgaria (also EU) just because of the taxes in primary production, thhat was raised from 9, 15 to 13-15, 23-25 %
if you put taxes to primary production then you kick all foreign investments, and even your people stop producing but prefer to buy cheap imported,
since IMF gave instructions, as a strange reaction, Greek market started to buy from German cheap markets, !!!!! and import Turkish products and change label, !!!!!!
last winter in Greece that perfect oranges, we ate !!! Turkish, Brazilian Spanish and North African !!!!!
since IMF started to gave instruction all construction industry is stoped due a new law that raises taxes from x2 to x8 according the old,
well it is another thing to cut salaries and another to stop any production sending 000 000 to unemployment.
Indeed German will not want to pay for the Greeks had a reason, cause a German worked until 65 and some Greeks got retirement at 45 (military and police forces).
But that was solved from the Begin,
Greece change laws and is according majority of EU laws today,
But that did not help, still spreads are very high,
then what is Happening,
Simply Portugal was smart and avoid IMF,
But Greece was Dump, and accepted IMF,
(socialist with a Porche, that pays 150 000 for a house while normal Greeks pay 250-300 E rent)
well simply IMF manage to kick away the last industries that did not left in previous times, and manage to make problem from a crisis a Gordian tight, that will last until 2025-2030,
the case of portugal opened eyes in some Greeks and today people, are suspicious that something is Behind,
Angela of Germany told clear in past, SELL SOME OF YOUR ISLANDS,
and IMF instruction although Helps us with some money today, simply puts a bomb in our national lands in 2 ways,
1 is by selling Islands or monuments simply is like selling your heaviest industry,
2 is the case of international laws,
it is written in a thread about Cyprus,
simply Greek crisis started the exact time that Greeks and Cyprus demanded to expand sea-reef boarders to 12 miles than 6 that are today, a case that is Casus Beli for Turkish,
and the abandoned plan of South Stream (Russian pipes)and Nabuco (USA pipes) that will transfer oil and Gas to italy and west Europe,
Greece spend billions of EU there, but the Georgia-Osetia cases, as also the Azer-Turkish new treatment instead of bringing oil and gas, are empty pipes,
simply the East Mesogeios (mediteraneo) oil and gas, is in Target.
