Varoufakis: Brexit would not had occur if the Europeans would not had crush the Greek government in 2015
Former Greek
Minister of Finance with Tsipras Administration, Yanis Varoufakis,
gave another interesting interview on Greek TV recently, revealing
further interesting details about the Greek situation and the
European situation after the crisis, Brexit, refugee issue and the
rise of Far Right in Europe.
Among his
most interesting remarks was that Brexit would not had occur if the
Europeans would not had crush the Greek government in 2015, referring
to the open
financial coup against Greece when the current PM,
Alexis Tsipras, decided to conduct a referendum on the catastrophic
measures imposed by the ECB, IMF and the European Commission, through
which the Greek people clearly rejected these measures, despite the
propaganda of terror inside and outside Greece:
Brexit
would not had occur if they [European creditors] would not had crush
our government in summer 2015. During the period of pre-referendum
process in the UK, before 23th June last summer, me and our movement
DM25 were participating that period on the pre-referendum process.
Varoufakis
supported this argument saying that he made thirteen speeches in
thirteen cities of England, Wales and Scotland, against Brexit. He
had thousands of people in the audience. In every place he went,
people told him that they agree with most of what he pointed. Yet,
the central argument by them was 'how is it possible to vote for
the UK to remain in the EU, seeing the way that Brussels and
Frankfurt treated Greece?'
Varoufakis'
argument is very important because it shows that even if we assume
that most of the Britons were not observing carefully what happened
to Greece, the totally unacceptable authoritarian behavior of the
European creditors against the country was certainly an extra bullet
in the gun of the British nationalists and the Far Right to persuade
citizens to vote for Brexit.
