Greekonomics: make-or-break week

There is no solution within the EU for Greece. The EU is in fact the ultimate cause of Greece's present economic catastrophe, since any union between countries with very different levels of competitiveness (like Greece and Germany) is bound to create higher rather than lower inequalities between them over time. Particularly so when countries within the EU do not have any control over their monetary and fiscal policies, their markets are completely unprotected and they do not even have their own currency. Tsaka lotos Efklidis is therefore the last who has the right to talk about what is to be done for Greece - always, of course, within the context of the EU! Let us not forget that his research projects, together with those of his friends among the reformist Left "academics", are financed by the EU and have caused so much harm to the Greek people by persuading them to embrace the "benefits" of joining the EU - directly in line with the stand of the Greek and foreign plutocracy on the matter, of course! Fortunately, the Greek people who are out on the streets today have understood the true role of the Greek elites, which include those belonging to this kind of "Left", and they are fighting for Greece's exit from the EU and the Eurozone so that they can achieve the minimum economic sovereignty necessary to manage their own affairs!

The EU integration was focused on spreading the domination of western, mainly German companies or selling their products and services. This companies got an upper-hand by bribing governments and local clerks, ruining or buying domestic firms, creating ideal environment for themselves (German ‘wunder’). Local economies must be defended, the greedy ones must be curbed, who moreover make their victims the scapegoats. Harmonic development instead of colonizing or the Union is only a big lie.
Greeks fight not only for their country but for Europe too.

Greece has to leave from earlier time from euro club. It is the choice of the Greece government to decide.
