The EU thread

[Pad Frank]

That's exactly how things are (i wish i could like your post OP).

Also don't forget that if Greece gets out of the Eurozone and euro it doesn't necessary needs to go back to it's old currency. What i mean is that Greece can enter an already existing currency and that would sink euro. Of course someone might say that nobody would want Greece in their currency but that's wrong, at least in my point of view.

Ofc Obama is greatly worried about what's happening in Europe because a possible destruction of the eurozone would cause great damage to the already unstable American economy.
What's funny is that even though almost everyone says to Merkel to change her politics she insist that this is the best way to act.

Anyway Greek elections are tomorrow and i am really curious to see what will happen.
One thing is sure, whatever the outcome might the winner is one...

They managed to get 7% of the vote.

Not yet Kami.
Anyway New Democracy the party that supported the memorandum and the austerity measures took the lead and end up first with 29,66%. Samaras (the leader of the party) promised that he will negotiate with EU and IMF about the memorandum something that was later rejected by both EU and IMF. To sum it up the fear from a probable exit from the eurozone forced Greeks to vote for ND however many said that Greeks gave a last chance to Europe. On the other hand many anti-memorandum parties enter the parliament with SYRIZA first (26,89%).

And all that in the middle of a great crisis that is ready to destroy eurozone. One out of the two Europeans are against the EU according to think tank Notre Europe. The research shows that the Europeans that believe in EU are in Benelux (Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg), Ireland and Denmark. The less pro-Europeans are in Greece, Portugal, Italy and France. Germany is a category on it's own due to the many changes in the public opinion that changed due to the many historical events of the country. Also according to the research, the countries that joined the EU after the 2004 (Czech, Hungary, Latvia, Slovenia and Cyprus) seem to lose their faith in EU day by day something that Bulgaria and Romania don't seem to believe (joined date 2007).

Project will fail, capitalism will take a blow.

The French newspaper Figaro have a pretty interesting article that shows how the Nationalistic parties slowly grow bigger and bigger inside Europe. Le Figaro also provided a map that shows the countries which have such parties and categorize them by the percent they got elected.



A big surprise is the FPO party that according to Le Figaro are supporters of the 3rd Reich and as things show are the favorite for the upcoming elections in Austria.
