The last European council has agreed new
treatments to avoid the half of Greek debt. Greek Prime Minister, George
Papandreu, has said that Greek people will vote on a referendum this agreement.
The next day stock-markets fell down. One the one hand, stock-markets behaviour
evidences their totally unfair and antidemocratic character. A referendum is
one of the most democratic things in our democracy. People vote to decide their
future. They will choose to agree this new agreement or to stay in the last
conditions, or even to find a new way to avoid the Greek debt. Markets, this is
the name that we give to the great capitalists, don’t like democracy. They don’t
like people voting or deciding their own future. They like to impose austerity
to the public services without asking the citizenship.
But, on the other hand, we can ask ourselves if
it is too late. Greece has fallen into a bankruptcy. Paying only the half is
not a solution. Stop paying neither in the next five years. Why Greek government hasn't asked to the people before? Since Greece has
been “rescued” has fallen into a deep dark hole and nothing can save them in
the next five years. Greece has to look forward and choose his best option. Maybe
stop paying his debt is the only one way to free Greeks in ten years. We’ll see
on the referendum results. And remember, in the referendum there won’t be any
option about not paying.
Here, an explanation of the predictible impacts of the Greece choices, from BBC.
