“German
government no longer rules out to come towards Greece financially, if
Athens increases its commitment in the refugee crisis,” WiWo notes on
Friday and adds citing Merkel’s government sources:
“Our highest priority is currently that more refugees remain in Greece.“
In order to achieve this, “other considerations like strict
insistence on the program agreements could be set back,” the German
daily notes.
In this blackmail framework, it is not clear how exactly Germany sees
this “other considerations”. But in real life language this could be
translated into something like:
Germany offers to be more open and eventually close an
eye or two, when it comes to strict implementation of the 3rd bailout
program and the One Million and One Prior Actions and Structural
Reforms, if Greece accepts to keep more refugees in the country.
According to WiWo, “some 400,000 refugees have arrived in Greece
since the beginning of the year. among them also many boat-refugees who
arrive through the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey and want to travel
further to European Union, especially to Germany.”
Already yesterday, I drew my readers’ attention to a possible blackmail on the part of Greece’s EU partners in general and the European Commission in particular
with regards to the Refugee Crisis. However, I focused rather on the
pressure of EC and Germany to Greece to “joint patrols with Turkey”.
However, Berlin came today with this new idea. Yet, the denominator remains the same: refugees & refugee crisis vs money & vague concessions to a debt-ridden country.
Several years ago, when I started to discover how big the world was, I
was a devoted supporter of the European Union, of the free move of
people and goods and other nice visions of a liberated and united happy
world.
I cannot tell you how disappointed I have become in recent years to see that the nobleEuropean Union has mutated into a gang of thugs and common blackmailers.
