I vote for Syriza because of the situatation the former governments brought us in(Nea Dimokratia and Pasok).

As for Golden Dawn guys if you can't find anything wrong...there might be something wrong with you too.

You make very little sense.

When they've invented the european union people thought that any person could earn the same amount of money in the different countries for the same job, how do you want to build a union if a carpenter earns 500 euros in Greece and in Germany in 2500 for the same job? but if they all had the dual currencies there will be no problem like this, but instead they forced greece to use euros, to took loans after loan after loans and now they don't know what to do with them

 

[Fr3sh]

Is this true @Maddy?

What's not to like? In exchange for your sovereignty, you get open borders, massive immigration from Muslim countries, a failing currency, German domination (this time without tanks), runaway debt to greedy bankers, and faceless bureaucrats telling you what you can and can't say (hint: can't be against gays or promote Christianity). But Europe has few options. They decided long ago life wasn't worth reproducing in the Eurozone.

everything is truth

 

[Spath]

Any EU country, upon joining Eurozone, was immediately a candidate for future financial and economic collapse.

That's how the far right likes to portray it.

You know the people chanting monkey noices.

 

[Post Ironic]

This is a wakeup call for the establishment around Europe.

Populism will victor if Austerity and the Neoliberal discourse continues. Luckily in Greece it was the lefties, but around most of Europe it's the right wing xenophobe, islamophobes and national populist that are eating up the marginalised voters.

Equality, jobs and social conditions needs to be prioritised above balancing the budgets, pleasing the financial sector and the officials around EU.

Nope. But it is correct that Greece never should have joined the Eurozone. The economy was simply too bad.

because everysingle country should have had their own currency = euro, 1 drachma = 1 euro with a fixed or floating exchange rate, Greece has already violated all the fiscal requirements so launching a dual currency adds little damage to the situation today, there is no perfect solution for Greece, unfortunately, everything has it pros and cons

Let's see in few years if only Greece should have never entered...

Also, don't forget about olympic games in Greece in 2004, they've accelerated decline of Greece economy a lot

And now as a legacy we have these.

What also decimated the middle class in Greece was former governments spending way more than they collected in taxes, and joining the euro kept us from floating our currency.

i saw it, we have the same story in Russia, the maintenance of a large stadium "bolshoy" cost around 30 millions of rubles per month, so Putin and co. created a hockey team here HC Sochi and sponsor it with the money of the Krasnodar region, while our region's budget is in low supply, also putin has spent 50b of dollars on olympics now, with sanctions and low oil prices, we are really fucked up

Its an inescapable trend in Europe, Swedens third biggiest party are racist populistic mofos too, we are better off then lots of other countries though, some countries like Denmark are run by these kind of people

Europe coming apart at the seams. Greece will probably default and Europe probably won't see a penny of that bail out money in return. They want to cut taxes but boost social spending...with what money their economy sucks?
