We just left behind May 1, Labor Day. For Italian workers in these times there is not much to celebrate since the loss of jobs and the myriad of companies in crisis.
But even worse if the workers go Greek, which is below the grate of the diktat of an international community that unscrupulous cynicism he first conducted the brink and then he pushed down by encouraging speculation. It 's true that the Greek government accounts have been falsified for years (the debt was concealed by postponing its repayment in the future through sophisticated financial transactions), but we must not forget that this was possible only thanks to the deregulation wind-driven neo-liberal and the advice of U.S. banks, which seem to have helped to make up the accounts of other European countries, including ours. For more about what happened with beneplacido of economic and financial institutions in Europe, which despite suspecting the real state of the Greek government budgets are not at all occurred with the controls and even with requests for clarification.
Now Greece is granted a loan, but that is not founded on solidarity, but it is based on selfishness arising from fear of the economic elites that a possible default greek can cause a domino effect involving several European countries including Ireland, Portugal, Spain and Italy, sinking as the single currency.
Germany in recent weeks has played a key role in the massacre greek, in fact only for electoral reasons delayed as much as possible the go-ahead to aid leave Greece at the mercy of speculators. Germany itself has been at the forefront in demanding that the Greek workers shed tears and blood for grant aid, just a few years ago when Germany itself had imposed the relaxation of the Maastricht criteria precisely because they had been overrun.
Given the 110 billion euro in three years of the loan (bestowed by the IMF with a quota of 30 billion with the EU and 80) the conditions attached to the cradle of western philosophy traddurranno is mainly a cut for workers in public administration, pensions and salaries, increasing the retirement age, the 10% increase in the price of fuel, cigarettes and alcohol and a VAT increase of 2 percentage points (from 21 to 23%).
All sounds a bit 'as a joke as compared to about 15 billion € of tax evasion, public workers are those who are physically unable to evade taxes.
E 'highly unlikely that similar cuts through Greece is able to stimulate the economy and in a few years to repay the loans (at a rate of 5%), indeed probably the compression of consumption that will result strozzerà any possible economic growth. Greece to increase by almost 3% to be able to repay the interest. There is a risk that with such a policy then the default is only "delayed" a few years.
front of the Greek crisis and crisis of capitalism more generally, Europe can not continue on this path of national self-made (especially by the states with the greatest weight loss). It should be instead a European Union politically strong, screva by individualism and particularism, who can re-design a future medium-to long-term safeguarding of the great achievements in the social field which is going slowly lost and imposing the primacy of the real economy on the financial one.
face of this the communities across Europe can not remain idle, but must work together, united by a vision of internationalism and solidarity: the only union workers can lead us to a new model of development to avoid war between the poor.
Workers across Europe Unite!
