German Energy Commissioner Günther Oettinger has continued to try to distance himself from an interview in which he reportedly suggested bailout countries like Ireland should have their flags flown at half mast. The Commissioner's spokeswoman Marlene Holzner told journalists in Brussels that the idea was not Mr Oettinger's, he did not support it nor had he recommended it to the Commission President. Ms Holzner said that this idea came up during an interview in Berlin, in which the Commissioner was talking about a number of options which were under discussion. The suggestion that flying flags at half mast would deter countries from getting into debt has been widely derided. Meanwhile, a cross-party group of over 150 MEPs have written to European Commission president José Manuel Barroso calling for Mr Oettinger to retract his statement or resign as EU Commissioner. The initiative was organised by Portuguese Greens/EFA MEP Rui Tavares. The letter will be presented to Parliament president Jerzy Buzek by Greens/EFA co-president Dany Cohn-Bendit. Sack the ****er now
Oh dear a German of all people suggesting this. If Ireland have to fly at half mast for the debt, whatever constructive purposes that will fulfil, Germany should have its flag taken off it altogether for obvious past midemeanours.
The World Bank is trying to destabilize Greece, Portugal, Spain , Ireland and Italy so we become one big EURO Superstate, taking orders from Belgium... It could work or the Bubbles will riot and overthrow their government...
Imagine if Europe became like the USA with one central government and smaller federal governments I don't think it would happen though as nationalism would rear it's head.
You cant be racist against the Germans, ever ..........................never, ever..............They are known only for nice cars and gassing jews
Its almost there already George, Lisbon was another step closer. Eurocrats are running the show and the individual nations governments have to toe the line or face fines
Im talking about debt at a national level. The disciplinary whips are the tough sanctions for dissent amd the gov,t forces aggressive suppression of protests, manual labour?? Really? There will be plenty of mental scars and the cages are the design of the debt to ensure it will never be escaped, the design of legiation banning protest (aka the legislation rushed through in the wake of the convenient London rioting)
Soon we will have a UN Super Army with blue berets then if it goes off in Portugal, they will send in Czech and Polish troops. If it goes off in Greece, the German an Dutch troops go in etc..... It will only break down if you expect troops to shoot and capture resistance in your own Country.. Hell if our boys can do it in N Africa and Iraq and Afghanistan, as long as you don t have a sympathy or can understand what they are saying its easy.. Just training..
You will have to ask them. I can only view the processes as they occur and watch the slide of nations into the control of the fiscal and political elite but surely the final objectives are known only to them. I have seen speculative theories on where it will end up. Most depressing, some outright frightening.
