"Mr President, Mr Juncker, I agree with you when you say that it was not Greek workers who were responsible for the collapse of Lehman Brothers. However, the United States at least has an employment plan at the moment, and all Europeans have is austerity plans.
I would also say to you that it is Greek workers, like those of Portugal and Ireland, who are being cast into unemployment by European and International Monetary Fund plans – the principal and only objective of which is to save the banks – and are being punished every day for the indecision, for the lack of decisions, or for the wrong decisions, of Europe’s very leaders.
That is why I am asking you if it is not time for you, as President of the Eurogroup, to explain to the German taxpayer that they are not just paying for speculation on the financial markets. They are also paying for each statement made by Chancellor Merkel – or one of her ministers or one of her secretaries of state – and we are all paying for the racket that Europe’s leaders are making."@en1
