Greek Pensioner Commits Suicide in Sindagma Sq-Suicide Note

Tags:

• DICTATORSHIP
• ECONOMY

The occupation government of Tsolagoglou (reference to the Occupation govt of the ex-Defence Minister Tsolagoglou who became Quisling Prime Minister of the 3rd Reich) has erased essentially any possibility of my survival which was based on a decent pension which for 35 years, I alone (without the intervention of the state) had paid.

I am at an age which doesn’t give me the individual capacity for a dynamic intervention (without of course precluding that if one Greek took up arms-Kalashnikovs, the second person would be me) I cant find another solution from a decent end before I end up looking in the rubbish bins for food.

Greek unions launch 48-hour strike against austerity measures

Comment by Shlomo Von Heineken on June 21, 2011 at 5:45pm

thank you for posting these videos.  a lot more information on the background is necessary. the Greek national railroad's annual income is about 100 million Euros while expenditures on salary/benefits and other costs is 700 million Euros.  Government employees earn far more than private sector and more than is provided by tax revenues, which are a joke as the whole nation practises tax avoidance (and why not? It takes 10-15 years to bring a case, so this is almost never done. But if a case is considered, the tax official may simply be bribed, and always is because it takes 7 to 10 years to indict him!).  Massive off-the-books debts in the hundrds of billions of Euros, early retirement, etc.  Someone has suggested that the EU's gnomes in Basel be driven into the Black Forest with their laptops and do what they do best, using ledger entries to simply buy up all the bad Greek debt and convert it into reserves.  Of course, the EU has resorted to austerity measures imposed upon Greece, which theoretically might have been bearable on a graduated basis, but all at once and accompanied by the massive sell-off of Greece's sovereign institutions and islands?
