We all know what is happening in Greece today. One thing that we all forget is the reason Greece got into this mess. In my opinion all started, in the second re election of Pasok in 1984. A huge number of decent and honest PASOK members had left in droves. The so called THA THA (stands for I will, I will), aka Andreas Papandreou the former Prime Minister of Greece, had promised everybody a position in the public sector and hundreds of mid size and large companies were nationalized for that. In other words , he pushed for nationalization (or as he used to say "socialization") in order to accommodate the large number of people he had promised jobs.
Then with Andreas Papandreou's famous slogan "Tsovola give out everything" (Tsovolas was his Finance Minister) he had started the real destruction of the Greek economy. The Greek state started borrowing in order to pay workers who did not produce anything and worked in companies that were going down the hill in Formula One speed.
At that time, tremendous amount of money was wasted in order to support PASOK's grip in power and the re election of Andreas Papandreou.
At the same time EEC had started the 1st and 2nd Delors' (the eighth President of the European Commission) packages, which were huge amounts of money reserved for the Greek economy in order to catch up with the rest of Europe. The Greek State was totally unable to utilize 100% of those packages due to its anachronistic and byzantine infrastructure and bureaucracy. The moneys utilized from the Delors' packages were used to bribe PASOK's cronies and technical companies that were supposed to create work and renovate the Greek Infrastructure. After that all is history...
The Greek State borrowed more and more until we got were we are today. The story above is the story of Greek local parasites. People, unable to have a job as the rest of the Greeks, were feeding by sucking the blood-money of the Greek state. The last 30 years we saw the story get repeated multiple times and all those times our beloved friends in European Union knew very well what was happening.
So, the international parasites played a huge role in the destruction of the Greek economy as well. They knew and they were benefiting from the destruction.
