Focus: Merkel and Sarkozy plans for the new Eurozone
According to the German magazine "Focus", the two leaders are willing to risk the collapse of the Eurozone, to pass a tighter "Stability program".
Angela Merkel and Nicola Sarkozy believe that the poor countries might refuse to comply with their recommendations for tighter fiscal discipline which will be discussed in the Summit of 9 and 10 December. In addition, they are afraid of a "veto" from countries calling for a greater intervention by the European Central Bank, in order to help the economy.
For that reason the two leaders are planning to start the negotiations with the countries that are capable to follow their economic program in order to form a new smaller Eurozone only the economically powerful countries.
New Europe: “Merkel and Sarkozy want Samaras to sign to secure Leopard and Rafale sales, agreed with Papandreou”
According to "New Europe online" Angela Merkel and French President Sarkozy agreed with George Papandreou to grant Greece with the €110 billion mega-loan but with his commitment to purchase military supplies from Germany and France that worth €10.5 billion euro!!! The agreement says that the purchases will be in equal parts between Germany and France. The hardware will include frigate war ships, Leopard tanks from Germany and Rafale combat aircrafts from France.
In addition, "New Europe" connects the secret Papandreou-Merkel -Sarkozy agreement, with immediate retirement of all heads of the Greek armed forces from the former defence minister Panos Beglitis just 3 days before the Papandreou government collapsed!!
Merkel, Sarkozy and IMF blackmail Greece with the help of PM Papandreou
A few weeks ago, President Sarkozy was saying : "It's not possible to let Greece fall, for moral and economic reasons" - "Greece Future Is in the Euro Region" -“If we created the euro, we cannot let a country fall that is in the euro zone. Otherwise, there was no point in creating the euro,”
Suddenly, at the end of October the French President admits that "It was a mistake to let Greece join the euro single currency". One month later, Mr. Sarkozy, Angela Merkel and the IMF are blackmailing Greek people with a catastrophic dilemma: "Whether or not they want Greece in the Eurozone"
The worst part of the story is that the referendum was announced by the Prime Minister of Greece. Mr. Papandreou gave the opportunity to the European Leaders and the IMF for a direct blackmail towards the people of his own country.
Greek people will now have to vote... They will have to vote YES and surrender their country and lives to their "helpers - lenders" OR vote NO and suffer the consequences of bankruptcy!
