    I can’t believe these idiots actually touched Glezos, his actions during WW2 inspired countries across Europe to start uprising against the Nazis once they had been occupied.

    This whole EU thing is simply a disaster; its point was originally to prevent extreme nationalism, but all it does is create tension between people via propaganda to protect the interests of the markets, regardless. As a result the Germans hate Greeks; Greeks hate the Germans, when in reality all of them are victims of a scheme to uphold the precious “Euro”, even if it means austerity with no growth, or taxing the stabilized countries more.

    Countries like Greece, Portugal and Italy simply can’t keep up with economies like Germany who come only second to China in exports. Without control of their own currencies they will suffer for at least a decade.

    This Euro-dream is really dangerous, and I fear we’ll be seeing social unrest on a whole new level soon enough.

    There's not much stabilizing to be done though, the Eurozone "system" is practically falling. If Greece does declare bankrupt status Portugal will follow immediately after along with Ireland. And as small as those may affect to the "big" countries of Europe, Italy, Spain and eventually France are soon to follow.

    And what happens if countries like Spain who control about 17% of the european economy go bankrupt? A big portion of the economy goes on necrosis leading to Cameron panick increasing fees in the UK even more and the main German bank doubling its additional income which at the moment is at profit state of 130%.

    No matter how you see it, the only intentions through this are the maintance of the current situation, it doesn't matter on how much of a poor state Greece, Portugal or Ireland will reach. All it matters, is the Eurozone not suffering a domino collision, with banks being once again above countries, their people and their pride.

    All these years setback younger generations will go through, and what for? Because people with power wanted to secure themselves and their comfy seats in expense to the public.

    Well pardon me, but they can all go fuck themselves for all I care. Politicians, bank managers, the whole lot of them.

    Sure, EURO doesn't help, but there was a problem with the management of Greece (and other countries like Italia, Spain, France, ...) economy since a long time (certainly before EURO).
    Otherwise how do you explain country like Finland or Slovenia don't have problem with their debt ?

    this is both a greek and a european economic problem. the biggest damage however was dealt from corruption
    last year greece supposedly imported 1.5 million olive oil from germany. a product which greece is a top producer for along with a couple of other counties, . so u understand how ****ed up politicians are here, people are calling them traitors and for good reason, they basically sold greece.

    No one ever said that their governments haven’t been incompetent. But that doesn’t change the fact that the Euro is rigged against them and all it does is hamper what little exports these countries have. So what do you do? You cut your losses and leave instead of clinging on and accepting bailouts with massive interest rates and worrying about bondholders. As Hollow said, **** them. Right now they need a package that promotes growth, not austerity for over a decade, but the problem is that it's literally impossible to get a decent growth pace with a common currency like the Euro.

    I never said Greece was treated unfairly, the people who run the greek gonvernment were and still are incapable of producing a worth pathway for the people to follow. It's their corruption and the loose ends set by the gonverment that put us here in the first place.

    By no means, did I mean to say that Greece itself had no involvement to what happened to it, and I'm sorry if it came out that way.

    Yep the fact that european law is above country law is a real problem :/
    Same for the ECB who doesn't want adjust EURO value.

    But what can Greece do now ???

    Go out eurozone and say **** to investors ? Why not, but it's a very risky bet (austerity, big devaluation of its money, ....).

    Stay in eurozone, and live xxx years of austerity ?

    Anyway many European countries are in trouble because of their government :O

    Well the real problem in leaving the Eurozone (by a disorderly default) is that it has no money. It wouldn't be able to get a loan to pay for salaries, pensions, healthcare, etc. So it would have to devalue its new currency and print money to such an extent where the currency itself would be almost worthless. Imports such as oil and basic necessities would be costly. But on the upside it would boost exports (though its means of production need to increase), and assuming Greece takes advantage of its assets (which would take time), in the long term it could very well be in a state much better than it would be if it stayed in the Euro.
