Re: My letters of
l
Gentlemen,
With
great pleasure and satisfaction, we are informed that you all talk about the
economic unification, in the first stage, followed by a complete political
unification of the Eurozone as a confederation of equal states – members.
Pleasure
on one hand, because finally you would proceed with the most important change in
history of Europe, which constitutes the
vision and the highest goal of the European and the E.U. people. Satisfaction
on the other hand, because I feel that I have contributed, even if slightly,
with my persistent letters promoting the great vision of the European people.
Very
rightfully Mr Rajoy rejects the participation of the IMF in the help mechanism
in the same way as in Greece,
appealing to the solidarity of the Eurozone members. Spain repsesents a large share of
the Eurozone and he can demand solutions.
With
the substantial unification of the Eurozone, the IMF has no place and the
outside factors, rating houses etc., will have neither power nor influence
anymore. In particular, when the E.C.B. undertakes the whole financial system,
the Eurozone will become more or less autonomous. Therefore in the next session
of the Eurozone leaders on the 28th - 29th of June, you
should, by all means, decide for the unification.
One
thing however that made me anxious if not furious as a Greek, is the intention
of Mrs Merkel to keep Greece
out of the Eurozone, as an exemplary punishment, due to not following the terms
of the Memorandum. Frau Merkel has not taken into consideration that Spain was first in line to be attacked by those
whose target was the Euro, and the small Greece simply became an offering,
like the ancient Ifigenia, to the IMF by
an incapable, if not worse, politician. Due to this unexpected, untimely,
unreasonable and not negotiated Memorandum, the Greek people are nearly
starving, the enterprises are closing down one after the other and the
unemployment rate is rising by the day. Is this not punishment enough?
I
often wonder why it is that Frau Merkel dominates, if not oppresses, the whole of
Europe and all of you just obey. Germany might
be the strongest economy, but this does not give Frau Merkel the right to
dictate her will on the rest of you. No to mention that at least part of her
strength is by not promoting the unification, as she owes, in violation of he
E.U. rules, enlisting at the same time the poor eastern countries into the E.U.,
for the sole purpose of acquiring tax-free markets for their products. It is
time for all of you to react, if you feel equals, for the sake of the common goals
and destiny of the E.U. and take the proper decisions, which in the long run
will prove beneficial even for Germany.
How
can one even consider a Europe without Greece? Greece
was the one who inspired Europe, its
civilization, its democracy and even gave it the name. For this reason alone we
deserve some respect and esteem. With a little exaggeration, one could say that
Europe belongs to Greece and
not Greece to Europe!
Germany
however, I dare say, is the last with the right to go against Greece as it owes
Greece, at least part of its prosperity, by not paying back the loan it took
during the occupation, not to mention the war compensations that every other
country has received, giving the destroyed country right after the war, the
time needed to recover and prosper. In return we received Aphrodite’s middle
finger. I do not want to believe, as some people say, that they are taking
vengeance on Greeks, subconsciously perhaps, considering us responsible for
loosing the war, nor that a good market for military armaments will be lost,
since after the unification the safeguarding for the frontiers will be
transferred to E.U.
Every
leader of the Eurozone and state-member should confer with soberness, responsibility, decisiveness and the necessary solidarity and hasten the complete
unification, gradually but with a specific time table and obviously support Greece in its revival
within the Eurozone. We can begin by urging e.g. the Germans to spend their
vacation in the sun blasted Greek islands and enjoy our blue seashores, keeping in
mind that the Greek people are always hospitable and friendly to all visitors.
I
understand that I may have been abrupt, but sincere and that my views are
within the ideals and vision of Europe, for
the benefit of her people.
Sincerely
yours
Nicos Anagnostatos
