XA! XA! Ο Νίλς Μούιζνιεκς (NILS MUIZNIEKS) Επίτροπος για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα της ΕΕ θα ελέγξει τη νομιμότητά της ΧΡΥΣΗΣ ΑΥΓΗΣ

Posted by satyrikon στο 17 Ιουλίου, 2012

Η αυξανόμενη εχθρότητα εναντίον των μεταναστών στην Ελλάδα κινητοποίησε το Συμβούλιο της Ευρώπης. Ο Επίτροπος για τα ανθρώπινα δικαιώματα Νίλς Μούιζνιεκς

ανακοίνωσε ότι θα ταξιδέψει ως επικεφαλής αντιπροσωπείας στην Αθήνα, προκειμένου να ελέγξει τη νομιμότητα του κόμματος Χρυσή Αυγή, μιας «φασιστικής οργάνωσης», όπως σημειώνουν οι FT Deutschland.

Το κόμμα αυτό είναι «πιο ανοιχτά εξτρεμιστικό και ναζιστικό από οποιοδήποτε άλλο κόμμα στην Ευρώπη», δήλωσε ο Επίτροπος σε συνέντευξη προς  την εφημερίδα «Το Βήμα».

Η βαθιά οικονομική κρίση στην Ελλάδα έχει δώσει ώθηση στα ακραία κόμματα, με τη φασιστική Χρυσή Αυγή να επιτυγχάνει στις εκλογές του Μαΐου και του Ιουνίου για πρώτη φορά την είσοδο στο κοινοβούλιο.  Ταυτοχρόνως όμως, αυξάνονται και οι αναφορές σε επιθέσεις εναντίον μεταναστών, ενώ η πολιτική ηγεσία δέχεται επικρίσεις ότι παραμένει άπρακτη.

Η επίσκεψη του Μούιζνιεκς αναμένεται να είναι δυσάρεστη στην ελληνική κυβέρνηση. Από την άλλη πλευρά, λόγω και της οικονομικής εποπτείας η οποία ασκείται από την ΕΕ, πολλοί Έλληνες έχουν την αίσθηση ότι η χώρα έχει απωλέσει την κυριαρχία της.

Λίγο πριν από την παρέμβαση του Μούιζνιεκς είχε προηγηθεί η έκθεση του Human Rights Watch (HRW), η οποία απηύθυνε σοβαρές κατηγορίες εναντίον της Ελληνικής Αστυνομίας, και πιο συγκεκριμένα ότι ανέχεται τη ρατσιστική βία στην χώρα. Το HRW πήρε συνέντευξη από 59 θύματα εγκληματικών ενεργειών μεταξύ του 2009 και 2012, χωρίς όμως να μπορεί να δώσει ακριβή στοιχεία για την κλίμακα της βίας εναντίον των μεταναστών.

Ο Μούιζνιεκς υποστήριξε ότι διαθέτει αναφορές τέτοιων οργανωμένων επιθέσεων. Ο επικεφαλής της Χρυσής Αυγής, Νίκος Μιχαλολιάκος, αμφισβητεί τη συμμετοχή μελών και φίλων του κόμματός του στις επιθέσεις. Στις αρχές Ιουνίου πάντως η αστυνομία συνέλαβε στον Πειραιά μία ομάδα μαυροντυμένων μοτοσικλετιστών της Χρυσής Αυγής, η οποία επιτέθηκε και τραυμάτισε σοβαρά έναν αλλοδαπό. Μεταξύ των συλληφθέντων ήταν και η κόρη του Μιχαλολιάκου.

Bring Nazi to school day? SS lesson at Latvian nursery sparks controversy (VIDEO)

Recently released video of two men in Waffen SS uniform conducting a lesson at a Latvian kindergarten has brought on a wave of anger and debate in Latvia and abroad.

­The two men from the Latvian Soldier group came to Riga’s Pucite [Owlet] kindergarten to give what they called a “patriotic upbringing” lesson.

The footage shows the men telling children about the heroic role of Waffen SS soldiers in the Second World War.

The two, however, did not limit themselves to stories only, but brought handouts for the little listeners.

The video shows the three- and four-year-olds playing with pistols, machine-guns and grenades from the WWII era.

Latvia`s Minister of Education Rober Kilis has condemned the incident, urging an investigation into the circumstances of the lesson, Latvian media report.

“Weapons, people in military uniform and such activity in a kindergarten are absolutely unacceptable – this is my personal point of view,” he was quoted by Delfi.lv website.

The lesson is believed to have happened on March 16 – a day of commemoration of Latvian troops that joined Waffen SS forces in the fight against the Soviet Union.

On that day, hundreds of Latvian Waffen SS veterans marched through the capital Riga. Moscow has repeatedly expressed outrage over such ceremonies celebrating the Nazi past. The EU has also expressed concern.

The Waffen SS was a multi-ethnic and multinational military force of the Third Reich.

Around 150,000 Latvians served in the Waffen SS, the Nazis’ non-German regiments, during World War II.

Shalom Chaverim!
First of all, I hope that all of our families had a
happy Pesach. The fact that Pesach is the celebration
of our going out from slavery to freedom
should have poignant significance to us this year.
I look upon our endeavors in genealogy as a sort
of year round Pesach. As I watch my family grow
more numerous with the more research I do, I
feel that we have, indeed, been freed from slavery.
Although Hitler and his collaborators tried to
erase the names of the Jews from the face of the
earth, our continued efforts in genealogy totally
remove that possibility from reality.

Citi’s Buiter: Greece will be forced out of the euro regardless of who wins the Sunday elections | ZeroHedge

Posted by satyrikon στο 16 Ιουνίου, 2012

New Democracy. Syriza. Doesn’t matter. According to Citi’s senior political analyst Tina Fordham, chief economist Willem Buiter, and global economist Ebrahim Rahbari, «any new Greek government, regardless of its composition, will struggle with implementation challenges related to the imposition of further austerity measures demanded by the Troika in exchange for further assistance,» and as a result, they «consider it likely that a new troika deal would ultimately fall apart and lead to Grexit.»

Citi notes that there is growing sense among European leaders that «promotion of economic growth can no longer be subordinated completely, even in fiscally unsustainable euro area member states, to the requirements of fiscal austerity,» but no one has any idea what that means.

This seems to be the current thinking, according to Citi:

 
 

The only operational, practical consensus on growth is that austerity policies should not be unnecessarily pro-cyclical. If a deficit target is overshot because of bad luck (economic activity and government revenues are weaker than expected despite full adherence to all conditionality) rather than bad faith (there has been a failure to implement agreed measures or policies), the shortfall will not have to be made up immediately – in the original time frame. More time will be given to achieve the original objectives without the need for deeper and faster austerity than originally envisaged. Bad faith (non-compliance) will, for incentive-compatibility or moral hazard reasons, continue to be punished with demand for enhanced and faster austerity.

Warning. Also, reminder: «And of course, reduced austerity does not mean no austerity, let alone the reversal of austerity…fiscal policy will remain contractionary overall – just less contractionary.»

Citi’s doesn’t think Greece is able to handle any more austerity, and its rapidly deteriorating fiscal condition is hastening a day of reckoning. On how and when Greek membership in the euro ends:

 
 

A possible trigger would be the determination by the IMF following the first or second assessment, that it cannot disburse its next installment due under the current programme because the Greek programme is not fully funded for 12 months after the assessment. In that case some of the smaller core euro area member states that have made their contributions to the Greek EFSF programme conditional on the IMF disbursing would probably drop out too. The Greek sovereign would then be forced to default. Then the ECB would stop funding the Greek banks through the Eurosystem and through the Greek ELA. With neither the Greek sovereign nor the Greek banks having access to the lender of last resort, we believe Greece would probably leave the eurozone, as some liquidity through the issuance of New Drachma is better than no liquidity.

The Citi team says that «more generally, we are concerned at the prospect of formerly wealthy countries becoming ‘new, critical fragile states.'» This is where things get really messy. They don’t think the ECB, EU, et al. will even let Greece go financially when things get really bad as described above. More like this:

 
 

In order to prevent such a scenario, we believe that even if “Grexit” were to occur, Greece would stay in the European Union and receive some form of Troika or other external assistance, most likely through the Balance of Payments facility run by the European Commission and the IMF for non-euro area EU member states. Since 2008, Latvia, Hungary and Romania have been under such programmes. Support from the EIB, and from Structural and Cohesion funds would also be likely to be forthcoming. We would also expect the ECB to continue to support the Bank of Greece after a Grexit. After all, the Greek central bank would exit the Eurosystem with considerable euro-denominated debt to the Eurosystem (this could be its Target2 net debit balance – something around €100bn, or its share of the total losses suffered by the Eurosystem as a result of Greek exit, however this would be established, net of the capital it has paid into the ECB, which would, in principle, be refundable on exit).

And the darkness is spreading through Europe. The «seeds of dystopia» are being planted:

 
 

Throughout the euro area periphery, and indeed beyond it in the ‘soft core’ of the euro area, the potential for the so-called “seeds of dystopia” referred to in the WEF Global Risks report remains a key long-term risk to European political stability and competitiveness, as youth unemployment rises and the social contract between states and citizens erodes. The burdens of this adjustment fall disproportionately on young people, as evidenced in youth unemployment exceeding 50% in Greece and Spain and unacceptably high everywhere in the periphery and the euro area at large. We continue to take the view that political change in Europe will continue to take place in the ballot box, but note the rising risk of frequent changes in government, street violence and other upheaval in a more fraught environment undermining both political and social consensus when it is most needed. However, unlike in the Middle East and North Africa, European countries do not have an age pyramid, but rather an inverted one, making it less likely that inter-generational conflict will propel rapid change in political outcomes towards more growth and employment-friendly policies.
