I have been thinking for quite some time, but I finally believe that I should write it to you: For once, I agree with you that the alleged "bailout"should have not been given in 2010 (for other reasons than you believe, of course). And certainly, ...

Defiant Greeks force Europe to negotiating table as time-bomb ticks

Thank you. It is not merely corruption, I would say it was high treason on behalf of the leaders of the parties that ruled Greece since 1981.

Defiant Greeks force Europe to negotiating table as time-bomb ticks

Hi Cecchino, this was for Pelly, as is obvious. Your own comments are always well thought.

Defiant Greeks force Europe to negotiating table as time-bomb ticks

Why don't you go on vacations in your own country - it is and will always be even cheaper than what you expect Greece to become. Nevertheless, what is the cheapest is what you have in your head, if anything. Your paranoia against Greece is ...

Defiant Greeks force Europe to negotiating table as time-bomb ticks

I meant Otto of Bavaria, of course (forgive the typos)..

Greece's Turn to Resist a Referendum

Hi Macdon, "Agents of foreign powers"? Evidently yes. Especially for Greece, I have to tell you that the country was never liberated in essence after revolting against the Othoman Empire. Following the Greek revolution of the 19th century, the three ...

Greece's Turn to Resist a Referendum

Good point that both sides are crooks - i.e. all Greek governments for the past 34 years (I wait to see what the current will turn out to be) on the one side and the EU banksters on the other. Wrong point that Greece has refused to make sacrifices; ...

Greece's Turn to Resist a Referendum

Thank you Dr. Elizabeth, I am sorry we ruined our relationship. I am surrendering to your genious comments, expressed by someone many thousand miles away from Greece, in both terms of distance and knowledge of local reality. You should have learned ...

How IMF and ECB have the power to decide the fate of Greece

I have written to you that I respect Dutch people because, following the Italians, they have one of the highest average IQs in Europe. But you are stubbornly naive. Before starting to bark again, try to put in your narrow mind that there is no bank ...

How IMF and ECB have the power to decide the fate of Greece

I hope you remember that before the supposed "bailout", Greek debt was held by, European mostly, banks. Who decided to transfer the debt burden to you and other European taxpayers and repay banks? Not Greece, definitely. Think a little bit about who ...

How IMF and ECB have the power to decide the fate of Greece

You may wish to note that Varoufakis has been carefully differentiating the IMF from the EU creditors, by having said several times that Greece will not be the first country to default to the former. Does this relate to his apparent ties with US ...

How IMF and ECB have the power to decide the fate of Greece

If yes, it is not unusual.

Greece Is Stuck With the Euro, and Vice Versa

Same shit about "necessary structural reforms". Which are they, I wonder. Perhaps the "structural reforms"already implemented during the last five years did not suffice; the creditors want more than the current 35% of the population below the ...

Greece Is Stuck With the Euro, and Vice Versa

Yes, you are indeed very insecure. As for the intellectual capacity of modern Bulgarians, what do you have to say? Bulgaria is indeed a country that thrives internationally! I have never met a Bulgarian student during my post-graduate studies in the ...

Wife shields Greece's Varoufakis from anarchist attack at restaurant

Dear Macdon, I have worked for 11 years for SocGen in Athens. Coincidentally all relatively recent French investments in Greece (SocGen, BNP Paribas, Credit Agricole, Carrefour) have already left the country about three to four years ago.

3 Tough Choices for ECB on Greece

Regarding alternative No 2 quoted by the author: since when the troika favoured maesures to "improve growth"? The absolute opposite happened. Many outside Greece live in their own fictitious world, still, they have apppointed themselves as ...

3 Tough Choices for ECB on Greece

Sorry my friend, but our history and culture does not allow the implementation of Disney's idea.

Varoufakis: Greece cannot cut pensions

Honestly, I do not disagree with anything that you are saying. The bottom line is that we need restructuring and innovation (personally, I hold an electromechanical engineering patent), but this takes time.

Varoufakis: Greece cannot cut pensions

Hi again, No problem to share with you my experience as a Greek citizen. First, my father's pension is about 1,200 euros, but he has worked for nearly 40 years as a lawyer at the nation's Supreme Court, so it is expected to receive a pension towards ...

Varoufakis: Greece cannot cut pensions

Sorry for delaying to answer to you, but I was occupied. The alternative to austerity at this point where Greek economy has fallen, is growth, thus creation of new jobs and income and collection of more taxes with which to service debt. Growth ...
