When Wolfgang Schäuble proposed that Greece should postpone its elections as a condition for further help, I knew that the game would soon be up. We are at the point where success is no longer compatible with democracy. The German finance minister wants to prevent a “wrong” democratic choice. Similar to this is the suggestion to let the elections go ahead, but to have a grand coalition irrespective of the outcome. The eurozone wants to impose its choice of government on Greece – the eurozone’s first colony.
當沃爾夫岡•朔伊布勒(Wolfgang Schäuble)提出,作爲獲得進一步幫助的條件,希臘應該推遲大選時,我知道這場好戲很快就要升級了。我們處在一個成功與民主不再相容的節點。這位德國財長希望阻止一場「錯誤的」民主選擇。類似的建議是:繼續舉行大選,但不論結果如何,都組建一個大聯合政府。歐元區想把自己選擇的政府強加給希臘——歐元區的第一殖民地。
