No, I'm not against German banks, even lesser with German people and
not at all with PP-DE.<br>
<br>
It was just an appointment to make it clear why the German
government puts extra pressure in cutbacks:<br>
<br>
Spanish government has put around 300.000 M€ into the Spanish banks
that owe debt to German banks. that is almost a 20% of the budget
every year. This is to save Spanish banks from cracking down, sure,
but if they crack, the ones that would crack just afterwards would
be the German lenders. That is what I meant with my email, that
Merkel requires cutbacks in southern Europe to save the German
banks.<br>

because of benevolence? I think it is just another form of
corruption in a way. Well hidden, but there is no real reason to
do it other than politician saying that it is 'without
alternative' (Oh how I hate those words!)<br>

Corruption exists, and is shameful and harmful, but
corruption doesn't evaporate a 10% of Spanish government's
budget, banks do it.<br>
<br>
BTW, most Spanish, Italian and Greek debt, which is the main
"reason" for cutbacks in healthcare, education and every
other social expenditure.<br>
<br>
Do you know who owns most of that debt? private german
banks.<br>
<br>
That is why Mrs. Merkel is so stressed with the possibility
of Greek government stopping any debt payments.<br>

because of immigration and our universal care system
it will hit us sooner rather than later. I don't think
that austerity is the biggest problem, rather it is
corrupt and incapable politicians that can not be
voted out of office (like in Spain, Italy or Greece)
and budget cuts that hit social welfare and education
rather than infrastructure, politicians' wages or
saving 'important' industries like banks, car
manufacturers and the likes.

<div>The Pirate Party Germany is against the ESM in
its current form (well, officially afaik only the PP
of NRW is against it, but so far any pirate you
talked to thinks that it is a bad idea that is
clearly not working).</div>
<div>Combine that with the unconditional basic income
and the freedom of education (as in educational
material and free schools and universities) that we
have as official aims and I think we have found a
way to solve this crisis over here.<br>

That problem is not occurring in Germany, so the

votes there without talking about that issue.
However, a party in<br>
Spain, Italy, or Greece which doesn't give that

place is not addressing the people's concerns.
The coming Greek<br>
election will be, in effect, a referendum on
this.<br>

I therefore propose that the Pirate Movement
take a stand: Tyrant<br>
