European Solidarity between Member-States is being sacrificed on the altar of Governmental self-interest.

The financial crisis in Greece has become an opportunity for the inadmissible enrichment of fellow States and institutions. We can speak of unjustified (and illegal and abusive) enrichment for Governments such as of Germany, France , Austria which borrowed at 2% on the markets and then loaned at 5 or 5.5% to Greece . The same can be said of the IMF, which borrows at a low interest from its members and makes loans at much higher rates to Greece, Ireland and Portugal.
European Solidarity between Member-States is being sacrificed on the altar of Governmental self-interest.
For this year, Greece has to pay to the Troika, Banks and Speculators usurious interest amounting to 4,9% of the GDP. (For next year, they will pay 6,3 %).
It is impossible to overcome these deficits, without condemning the country and people to destitution and chaos.
People’s Solidarity and seisachtheia* are the only way forward.
*seisachtheia (from the Greek: σεισάχθεια, from σείειν (“seiein”), to shake, and ἄχθος (“achthos”), burden, i.e. the relief of burdens) was a set of laws instituted by the Athenian lawmaker Solon (c. 638–558 BC) (from Wikipedia).
