three times as a blueprint.

The creditors were obviously

asking for changes...

...and needed a preaproval

of this blueprint.

It is obvious that our political

leaders do not intend...

...to implement the constitution,

but the political orders

they receive from abroad.

Whoever dares to talk about

a parliamentary coup...

...and to question the policies

of the government and the troika...

...is characterised as a populist.

This is impudent, it is an insult!

You talk about a coup...

...because the government which

was elected by a vast majority...

...asked for a bill

to be voted as urgent.

You have to apologise for

this insult towards the institutions.

You are the advocate

of the Greece of the drachma,

the Greece of poverty,

the Greece of humiliation,

you and everyone like you.

No more rescuing

The ideological terrorism

escalates.

Mainstream media

blackmale citizens...

...saying that, if they do not accept

the loan agreements,

...the super market shelves

will soon be empty...

...and the country will return

to the stone age.

There will be chaos. Greece will

become a Thirld World country.

There will be ration coupons...

Having done away with democracy...

...the governments prepare

for the sale of public assets.

They start off

with a tested recipe....

...by turning public servants

into the crisis' scapegoat.

The greek government is lying,

by saying that it doesn't know...

...the public servant's number and

then that they reach one million.

It withholds the fact that the public

sector's size and the average wages...

...do not overcome

the european average.

Public administration' defects

are well known.

But it is usually the state-

nurtured financial elites...

...the first to accuse

the public sector.

After preparing the public opinion

for the fire sale,

the only thing missing is

the mechanism to do that.

All eyes turn

to the german Treuhand,

the company that transformed

the 10th largest industrial power...

...into a shopping catalogue

of 510 pages.

Eurosaal - the euro room.

In a 280 sq.m. room beats the heart

of the german ministry of finance,

for some, the heart of the eurozone.

The room has

its own dark history...

...synonymous with the course

of the modern german state.

Here, the Luftwaffe officers

planned their strategy...

...for the bombardment

of european cities.

After the war, the soviet army

installed here its headquarters,

whereas in this very room,

the first constitution...

...of the German Democratic

Republic was signed.

The architectural monster

that Goering constructed...

...as the largest building block

in Europe...

...now houses the biggest industrial
