Schaeuble declares war against one of the few powerful sectors of the Greek economy on behalf of the German oligarchy
It's not
secret that Greek tycoons enjoy huge tax breaks at the expense of the
majority of the Greeks who have been suffering through heavy taxation
especially under Greece's creditors pressure. But do you really
believe that the German Minister of Finance made such a statement
because he cares about the Greek people? Of course not. The ruthless
hypocrite just wants to crush the competition of a powerful sector on
behalf of the corresponding German interests.
From
amna.gr:
The
Union of Greek Shipowners (UGS) on Friday reacted angrily to
suggestions made by German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble that
the Greek government had failed to keep promises to abolish a series
of tax breaks for Greek shipping.
In
an announcement, UGS President Theodore Veniamis talked about an
"unwarranted attack" against Greece over the Greek shipping
sector, which represented 50 pct of the shipping sector of Europe,
while noting that the German finance minister appeared ignorant of
the extremely favourable regime governing Germany's shipping sector.
"Mr.
Schaeuble, pointedly overlooking the especially favourable regime
governing German shipping, is turning with his statements against
Greek shipping, which also happens to represent 50 pct of Community
shipping, however - a primacy that clearly rankles. At a time with
the European Union is called on to defend but also to enhance the
competitiveness of its shipping against the tough competition from
shipping centres outside Europe, Mr. Schaeuble's criticisms are
provocatively without foundation," the announcement said.
Mr.
Schäuble, who recently surpassed Mrs. Merkel in popularity in
Germany, is under extreme pressure, mostly by the German capital, to
"restructure" the eurozone through the Greek experiment.
The German oligarchy is now in a cruel competition mostly with the US
companies to hyper-automate production. It sends continuous signals
that human labor will be unnecessary for its big companies and
presses the German leadership to finish the experiment in Greece.
Poor
Mr. Schäuble must give "earth and water" to the German
oligarchs. He must organize a new Treuhand for the whole Europe to
sell-off public property, he must completely dissolve labor rights,
bring down pensions and wages, destroy the social state. He must end
quickly with Greece and pass all the "Greek achievements"
to the whole eurozone.
