Suicide
The economic and social bankruptcy of Greece is a model emerging geopolitical construction of the European Union based on two pillars: economic neoliberalism and imperialism "German.
With German reunification - 1989, Berlin Wall - the center of gravity of European integration moved to Berlin. Germany was transformed from the rightist Social Democratic Party in the conservative stronghold of the continent. The European Central Bank, run by the Germans, held rigidly economic dogmas formulated by Friederich Von Hayec and Milton Friedman expresses the ideology of finance capital, the engine of globalization capitalist in the last two decades. It is the same that triggered the current global economic crisis that no one knows how or when it will end.
During the '70s and '80s of the last century came the full incorporation of the first partners 'underdeveloped' EU: Spain, Portugal and Greece and Ireland. Reviled today with a rating of "PIGS" (pigs) for its initials in English, now being accused of causing the crisis. Spain and Ireland were presented as role models for the "emerging nations" until a year ago. The case is striking similarities with Argentina in the early menemnista, as they are completing a similar way.
The euphoria geopolitics - and the spirit of plunder of the bankers - led the EU to move east, assuming the protectorate of the countries that had belonged to the Soviet orbit. Besides the threat of conflict with the resurgent Russian nationalism - fueled by the economic resources of oil and gas - the "colonization" of Eastern Europe was phenomenal, "bubbles" of growth such as Latvia, another "outfit" that collapsed catastrophically . Today, German and French
Greece proposed a draconian adjustment - the ineffable IMF prescription - to defend the European currency from speculative attacks of "vulture funds" supported by the same banks that were recently rescued substantial public resources - the same as they are reluctant to grant time to the unemployed, production credits and state investments.
An opportunity that the "petit Bonaparte Nicolas Sarkozy intends to use for its plan to regulate burner the" global financial roulette ", states that did not work in the many meetings of the G 20 to discuss a solution to the global crisis. Meetings which served only to the photo.
So far, solidarity with Greece is just word of mouth. The fear is that the fire is transferred to other countries in southern Europe. Spain suffers 20% unemployment. Portugal has never finished out of its chronic delays. Italy has suffered for two decades a process of disintegration of the political system, which brought into crisis the very notion of nation state. The separatist Northern League is a symptom of it.
As we noted a few days ago a Brazilian diplomat, Europe is conservative, decadent and lives of its old glories. We may add that runs a serious risk of social unrest and political disintegration.
