"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, despite the reassuring messages and replies from the Central European Bank and the Commission on the cases of forgery of the euro, this phenomenon continues to preoccupy the administrative authorities and Europol.
Just last week we had two particularly worrying cases. The first concerns the gang of Colombian counterfeiters brought down. A total of EUR 6 million was seized in forged 50 and 100 euro notes destined for Spain and other countries of the European Union.
The same week in Germany, hundreds of thousands of 5 and 20 euro notes were dissolved in water, with the result that the German authorities were questioned as to the causes, while the citizens of this country hanker after the strong and independent Deutschmark.
What is going on with the euro? How secure are citizens when they themselves are at risk – even though victims – of being referred for investigation, as we have seen in several countries, on suspicion of counterfeiting or moving forged notes?
How long will the Central European Bank turn a blind eye? Or is it only interested in when interest rates will rise again and start throttling consumers?"@en1
