Finanzkrise: Ein Land wird gefleddert

''Auch in der breiteren Öffentlichkeit wird immer klarer, dass die Finanzmärkte und die aufeinanderfolgenden Kredite für die aktuelle Explosion der griechischen Staatsschulden verantwortlich sind. Dennoch behauptet die Politik, dass die Ausgaben für den öffentlichen Sektor das Problem seien. Der jüngste Kredit wird daher an eine Bedingung geknüpft: an die Entlassung von 150.000 Staatsbediensteten. Damit wird notwendige Infrastruktur für ein gesellschaftliches Zusammenleben zerstört. Wir fragten nach den Folgen für Gesundheit, Bildung und das kulturelle Erbe Griechenlands?'' 2 streik-tv-Videos bei ver.di http://www.verdi.de/themen/internationales/++co++ef11d07c-64b0-11e1-799e-0019b9e321cd
