Government vice-president and Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos warned on Saturday that “Greece is worn out and desperate, and is in danger of making a huge mistake,” addressing the PASOK party’s parliamentary group.

He underlined that the real dilemma regarding the new bailout plan, which emanates from the Oct. 26 EU summit agreements, is the sacrifices foreseen (in the plan), as opposed to even more sacrifices, national humiliation, cutbacks and squalor. amna

He ruled out so-called ‘alternative solutions’ of unruly and structured default, saying that in both cases this would be translated into more conditions, “ones taken at gunpoint”.

Venizelos said an unruly default would bring Greece to the verge of civil war, followed by the “the glorious Greece of the drachma, where those who have exported their money abroad will come back to buy the country under colonial terms.”

In his address to Parliament’s economic committee later in the afternoon, which convened to discuss the new bailout plan, he added:

“If we don’t approve the measures we will be led to an unruly bankruptcy, which means total dissolution of the economic, social and institutional web of the country.”

    The fear of war and of plunder must be considered by any and all who have even a small semblance of patriotism within their hearts. The negativity, the humiliation, the ongoing verbal degradation of Hellas and her valiant people by so much of the international media, by thoughtless politicians such as the Opposition Leader in Australia and the depth to which Germany will sink to exact revenge for what the average everyday Hellene did to their well trained and well equipped monsters in WW2 may well lead to a war. And the enemies of the Hellenic people will then seek to fatten their bellies even more than they already have through their corruption, their plunder and their long list of evil acts. But we cannot forget who we all are around the world. It is time for all true Hellenes to come to the aid of Hellenism.
