Either our nations will dominate the markets, or the markets will swallow the nations,
along with Democracy and all the achievements of European civilization.

The Republic was born in Athens when Solon wrote off the debts of the poor to the rich.

Let us not allow the banks to destroy European democracy grabbing tremendous sums
which themselves created as debt.

How can a Goldman Sachs' man be suggested to govern the Central Bank of Europe?
What kind of governments, what kind of politicians do we have in Europe?

We are not asking you to support our struggle out of  solidarity, neither because on our own soil
Plato, Aristotle, Pericles and Protagoras, the ideas of democracy, freedom and Europe were born.
We are not asking for special treatment because we endured as a country
one of the biggest disasters in Europe fighting against the prevalence of fascism in our continent.

We ask that you do for your own interest.

Leaving now the Greek, Irish, Portuguese, Spanish society to be destroyed
on the altar of Debt and Banks sooner than later your turn will come.

You will not prosper amid European social ruins.

We were late, but woke up. Wake up yourself.

Mikis Theodorakis
Athens - May 28, 2011
