The average European (Greek, Portuguese, Spanish, Irish, Italian, even British
and German) before paying one more coin to the government in taxes, need to ask
for a full, popular and independent audit of all expenditures decisions which
bring us to the present disaster. States lost their credibility. ... We need a
big TRIAL, Nuremberg style. To find responsibilities for the present mess. All
those rendered guilty for corruption and robbery expeditiously judged and
jailed. Traitors, who plotted the enslavement of its own people by opaque
schemes and treaties, irresponsible debts and high regulation and taxes,
associated with foreigners powers and multinational interests, judged and
publicly executed. All debts related with the submission of the nation canceled
and remaining sound debts paid for the society even with utmost sacrifice.
Otherwise people will not be cooperative with the current state of affaires. We
need a new era of clean people, clean policy and clean money before we move to
the next step. Let´s sort out who is who first. I think it would be a good idea
to let the people get what they asked for. They want a socialist government and
now it is time to reap the rewards. In a few weeks they will be broke and
unable to borrow more money. Instead of cuts they will have nothing. It sucks
but sometimes people can only learn the hard way....It is easy to blame the
Greek man in the street for th e failures of his government to collecttaxes and
t toleraate forms of corruption> votes or no votes he man in the street has
little control over his governemt. So let us put the blame where it ddoes
lie.
1. The greek government of the day who lied their way into the Eurozone in the first place.
2. Goldman sachs who created the fiddles whicj allowed thenm to lie their way into th eeurozone
3. The euro zone experts who should have been fully aware of the potential greek difficulties and did nothing.

While Greece remains the short-term problem, EuroGroup ministers will also be looking for answers from Spain.
Last week the country was forced to nationalise crippled lender Bankia. The move caused Spanish bond yields to jump above the 6pc danger level. Although they have fallen back below this level since last Wednesday's action, the yields remain dangerously close.
"A prompt and profound reform of the banking sector is a cornerstone of Spain's crisis response and its overall reform strategy," said Mr Rehn.
The EU has set Spain a target of a public revenue shortfall equal to no more than 3pc of gross domestic product by the end of next year. However, the EU has already relaxed this year's target to 5.3pc - and EU forecasts suggest the country will miss this.
The situation isn't helped by the fact that Spain is mired in recession, with one-in-four of its citizens unemployed.
Spanish Finance Minister Luis de Guindos is expected to set out the Madrid government's preferred economic strategy at the talks.
Last Christmas the politicians and bureaucrats cobbled together an expensive rescue package and the Euro fanatics said the crisis was over. Less than six months on, here we are again.
In six months time (or less) the Euro will be facing another crisis.
How may more crises do there need to be before they reaise that the Euro has failed? How much money will need to be poured down the Euro drain?
Partidul Social-Democrat (SPD, de opoziţie) din Germania a câştigat ieri alegerile legislative din landul Renania de Nord-Westphalia (vest), întrecând cu mult Uniunea Creştin-Democrată (CDU), a cancelarului german Angela Merkel, care a pierdut circa 9 procente în raport cu 2010, potrivit primelor rezultate parţiale.
Sursa: ReutersUPDATE . Cu 16 luni înainte de alegerile legislative, Partidul Social-Democrat, critic faţă de politica de austeritate a cancelarului Merkel, şi-a păstrat cu uşurinţă acest land cu 18 milioane de locuitori, câştigând aproape 4 procente în raport cu 2010, cu 38% din sufragii.
Aproximativ 13 milioane de alegători au fost chemaţi la urne, în cel mai populat land al Germaniei, inimă industrială a ţării, cu oraşe importante ca Düsseldorf şi Cologne.
Coaliţia federală liberal-conservatoare, care încearcă să impună Europei austeritatea sa economică, a fost înfrântă, duminica trecută, în landul Schleswig-Holstein (nord), după un an electoral 2011 nefast, marcat de prăbuşirea totală a popularităţii partidului liberal FDP.
Privirile sunt îndreptate, de asemenea, spre tânăra mişcare contestatară Partidul Piraţilor, o surpriză pe scena politică germană, care a reuşit să intre în trei parlamente regionale în numai nouă luni.
Scrutinul a fost convocat după ce şefa guvernului regional, social-democrata Hannelore Kraft, s-a recunoscut învinsă, din cauză că nu a putut identifica o majoritate favorabilă adoptării bugetului.

Voters in Germany's most populous state handed a resounding victory to the centre-lefton Sunday, dealing a heavy blow to Angela Merkel's conservatives in what was interpreted as a backlash against the chancellor's European austerity campaign.
Exit polls on Sunday night in the North Rhine-Westphalia election showed Hannelore Kraft, who had led the state's centre-left Social Democrats (SPD) in a coalition with the Greens, had soundly beaten her Christian Democrat (CDU) rival Norbert Röttgen, Merkel's environment minister.
The SPD secured 39% of the vote to the CDU's 26% in what amounted to the worst result in the state for the conservatives since 1949. The Greens took 12%, ensuring that a coalition with the SPD would mean a 10-seat majority in the state parliament. The Free Democratic party (FDP), Merkel's coalition partner in the federal government, took 8.5% of the vote.
The parvenu Pirates party, whose platform is based on greater openness in government through technology, were celebrating their fourth successive entry into a regional parliament after polling 7.5%.
The result in North Rhine-Westphalia is seen as setting the tone for next year's federal elections. The state's 18 million people makes it bigger than some EU countries, including Greece, whose perilous economic situation and Germany's approach to it was often the focus of the campaign. It gives a clear boost to the SPD and puts Merkel, who remains Germany's most popular politician after seven years in power, on shaky political ground.
Greece is getting ever closer to a new round of elections that could lead to a rejection of its EU-imposed austerity programme. Coalition talks broke down yesterday with the main parties managing to do little more than trade insults rather than measures to save the country. There remains a faint hope a coalition could be cobbled together but without the seats held by far-left party Syriza there isn’t much room for optimism.
Another crisis inevitably leads to another meeting at the EU. Today it’s finance ministers. Will a Greek exit from the euro be on the agenda?
As if banks didn’t have enough problems EU lawmakers are due to vote today on tough rules to curb bonuses. The European Parliament’s economic committee is likely to cap bonuses at no more than bankers’ fixed salaries. The proposals will also increase the amount of capital banks have to hold to protect their balance sheets. A further proposal to limit salaries to 40 times a bank’s lowest paid salary is unlikely to gain support.
