De Speld: 'Monetaire installatie ontdekt in Griekenland'

EU-waarnemers beweren dat ze op satellietbeelden van het Griekse platteland monetaire installaties hebben ontdekt. De Europese Unie dreigt met sancties als Griekenland zijn monetaire ambities niet laat varen.

EU-waarnemers beweren dat ze op satellietbeelden van het Griekse platteland monetaire installaties hebben ontdekt. De Europese Unie dreigt met sancties als Griekenland zijn monetaire ambities niet laat varen.

Volgens de inspecteurs zijn er aanwijzingen dat de Grieken binnen vier jaar een eigen munt kunnen ontwikkelen. De overstap naar de eigen munt vormt een monetaire dreiging die de vernietiging van Europa zou inluiden. Voor de EU is het van groot belang dat Griekenland het geheime monetaire programma staakt.

De Griekse regering weigert verantwoording af te leggen. Premier Samaras zei in een toespraak tot zijn volk: 'Het klopt dat in de monetaire installatie op bescheiden schaal aan een zelfstandige munt voor eigen gebruik wordt gewerkt. Dit is echter voor vreedzame doeleinden en niet voor het van de kaart vegen van Europa. Het trotse Griekse volk zal niet buigen voor intimidatie van westerse mogendheden.'

De installatie, die in het rotsland ten westen van Thessaloniki zou staan, is slechts ten dele operationeel en vormt nog geen werkelijke dreiging. Toch baart de ontdekking zorgen. Herman van Rompuy, voorzitter van de Europese Raad: 'Het begin is er. Er is een installatie, maar we weten niet hoeveel kennis er is om een substantiële dreiging te vormen. Het kan nog jaren duren voordat ze een munt hebben ontwikkeld, maar er moet nu worden ingegrepen.'

Hoewel er wereldwijd talloze landen zijn met monetaire installaties, is het volgens de EU onverantwoord als een wankelende democratie als Griekenland hierover zou beschikken. 'Een land met eigen monetaire ambities is een regelrechte bedreiging voor de stabiliteit van de eurozone,' aldus van Rompuy.

Beleidsmatig is het onduidelijk hoe de EU Griekenland verder onder druk kan zetten. Van Rompuy: 'We kunnen geen strengere sancties opleggen dan we nu al doen. Met het meest recente bezuinigingspakket is de economie eigenlijk al verloren.'

Perhaps Germany could Vassalise them to help them out?

We could get the pope to excommunicate them, so we'd have a proper CB.

EU observers claim that they are on satellite images of the Greek countryside monetary systems have discovered. The European Union is threatening sanctions if Greece monetary ambitions are not letting go.

According to the inspectors, there are indications that the Greeks within four years to develop its own currency. The move to their own currency is a monetary threat that would herald the destruction of Europe. For the EU, it is important that Greece's secret monetary program ceases.

The Greek government refuses accountability. Premier Samaras said in a speech to his people: "It is true that in the monetary system on a modest scale, to a currency for their own use are in progress. This is for peaceful purposes and not to wipe out Europe. Proud Greek people will not bow to intimidation from western powers. "

The installation, in the rocky land west of Thessaloniki would be, is only partially operational and do not constitute a real threat. Yet disclose the discovery concerns. Herman Van Rompuy, President of the European Council: 'It's a start. There is an installation, but we do not know how much knowledge there is a substantial threat to form. It may be years before they have developed a coin, but it must now be taken. "

Although there are many countries with monetary systems, it is irresponsible of the EU as a shaky democracy like Greece this would have. "A country with its own monetary ambitions is a direct threat to the stability of the eurozone," said Van Rompuy.

Politically, it is unclear how the EU can put further pressure on Greece. Van Rompuy: "We can not impose stricter penalties than we already do. With the latest austerity package, the economy actually lost. "

I think it might be easier for me to read it in Dutch.

It's not even a bad translation, but the text is just that absurd. If you take a news item about weapons of mass destruction and replace every "nuclear" with "monetary", you'll get the joke. There might be many countries with their own monetary system, for an unstable democray like that of Greece this would be irresponsible
