Blackmail? Germany Considers Bailout "Concessions" If Greece Keeps More Refugees

Tyler Durden's picture




 

The European Commission will release €2 billion to Greece in the coming days to help the country manage the current migration crisis, a top Commission source told MNI Friday, but as German daily Wirtschaftswoche reports, the German Government is considering 'helping' Greece more financially – but only if Athens is more involved in the refugee crisis.

The European Commission will release €2 billion to Greece in the coming days to help the country manage the current migration crisis and the upgrade its public administration system, a top Commission source told MNI Friday.

 

The €2 billion will be the first disbursement of the so-called Juncker package worth €35 billion which aims to help Greece recover from 8 years of recession, boost investment opportunities and combat unemployment which is amongst the highest in Europe.

 

...

 

"Of course the priority is to help Greece set up hot spots to deal with the arrival of immigrants which must be dealt with effectively and imminently for the sake of Europe, but the overall project is to make Greece successful again," the source said.

And, as Keep Talking Greece reports, there could be more money for The Greeks IF they take on more refugees...

The German Government is considering to ‘help’ Greece financially –
but only if Athens is more involved in the refugee crisis. This is what
German daily Wirtschaftswoche ‘learned’ from German government sources.

 

“German
government no longer rules out to come towards Greece financially, if
Athens increases its commitment in the refugee crisis,”
WiWo notes on
Friday and adds citing  Merkel’s government sources:

 

Our highest priority is currently that more refugees remain in Greece.

 

In order to achieve this, “other considerations like strict
insistence on the program agreements could be set back,”
the German
daily notes.

 

In this blackmail framework, it is not clear how exactly Germany sees
this “other considerations”.
But in real life language this could be
translated into something like:

 

Germany offers to be more open and eventually close an
eye or two, when it comes to strict implementation of the 3rd bailout
program
and the One Million and One Prior Actions and Structural
Reforms, if Greece accepts to keep more refugees in the country.

 

According to WiWo, “some 400,000 refugees have arrived in Greece
since the beginning of the year. among them also many boat-refugees who
arrive through the Mediterranean Sea from Turkey and want to travel
further to European Union, especially to Germany.”

 

Already yesterday, I drew my readers’ attention to a possible blackmail on the part of Greece’s EU partners in general and the European Commission in particular
with regards to the Refugee Crisis. However, I focused rather on the
pressure of EC and Germany to Greece to “joint patrols with Turkey”.

 

However, Berlin came today with this new idea. Yet, the denominator remains the same: refugees & refugee crisis vs money & vague concessions to a debt-ridden country.

 

Several years ago, when I started to discover how big the world was, I
was a devoted supporter of the European Union, of the free move of
people and goods and other nice visions of a liberated and united happy
world.

 

I cannot tell you how disappointed I have become in recent years to see that the noble European Union has mutated into a gang of thugs and common blackmailers.

Everybody knows that Chancellor Merkel is under immense pressure especially by her coalition partner arch-conservative CSU regarding her Refugees policies and that she tries to politically survive her own crisis.

But in our real life world, blackmailers are normally thrown into jail.

They did this to themselves.  They have had multiple opportunities to leave, and constantly vote for political parties that don't have the balls to do anything about it.  

After their last election, I have concluded the country is inhabited and run by morons.

Although Greece cannot change its geographic location they can change their fence setting and either really commit or leave the EU.   If they commit they have an obligation to meet standards or face the consequences of membership.  Why join something if you are not truely dedicated to make it work, same with the UK?  Greece needs more than money before it can step out of its own darkness.

this sounds like when our govt proposes tax increases now in exchange for spending cuts later. Tax rates go up, but those spending cuts never seem to materialize. Same here, me thinks. They end up keeping a bunch more refugees,  but those 'extra concessions' never show up, or are too small to make any difference in the long term outlook. But, their fiscal situation will me made demonstrably worse by having a bunch more people to take care of that require EVERYTHING from the government. In the end, greece will end up leaving or being forced out of the EU anyway, but now with a bunch more third worlders to take care of. wa-hoo

Brilliant.  Bring unworking, needy, unhoused, unfed, uneducated, untrained and unintegratable people into your society and trust 'us' to help and already bankrupt country pay for them.  The level of thought that governments around the world now put into things is truly staggeringly low.  uuggghhh.

With a flood of refugees the culture of Europe will never be the same.

Germany will be unlike the Germany we know of today in 10 years. Other countries in the EU will be the same.

The globalist has this opportunity to blend everyone into to this one-world government faster if they take away the meaning of being a German or being French.

In any case, all these refugees will be on Euro welfare.

Just like Obama will provide free housing, a phone, medical, education and welfare for them when he welcomes them to the US.
