Further
signs of panic in another coup after Greece

The
European Financial Dictatorship showed further signs of panic in
Portugal this time. After the significant loss of power of the
neoliberal Right in recent national elections, a constitutional coup
took place in order to prevent the anti-austerity forces of the Left
to form a government.
From
Telegraph:
Constitutional
crisis looms after anti-austerity Left is denied parliamentary
prerogative to form a majority government.
Portugal
has entered dangerous political waters. For the first time since
the creation of Europe’s monetary union, a member state has
taken the explicit step of forbidding eurosceptic parties from
taking office on the grounds of national interest.
Anibal
Cavaco Silva, Portugal’s constitutional president, has refused
to appoint a Left-wing coalition government even though it secured
an absolute majority in the Portuguese parliament and won a
mandate to smash the austerity regime bequeathed by the EU-IMF
Troika.
He
deemed it too risky to let the Left Bloc or the Communists come
close to power, insisting that conservatives should soldier on as
a minority in order to satisfy Brussels and appease foreign
financial markets.
Democracy
must take second place to the higher imperative of euro rules and
membership.

It
is worth to remember the coup against Greece, directly by the
European Financial Dictatorship mechanisms, as described clearly by
the former Speaker of the Greek Parliament, Zoe Konstantopoulou in
her speech at the United Nations at the Fourth World Conference of
Speakers of Parliament:
On
June 25th, a 48 hour ultimatum was addressed to the Greek
government asking it to accept, contrary to popular mandate, a
series of measures dismantling labour law, abolishing social
security guarantees and legal protection for over-indebted
citizens, while at the same time requiring the sell-out of the
most precious public assets and public enterprises, but also major
ports, airports and public infrastructure.
All to be
sold or given away to repay an unsustainable and odious debt. The
Hellenic Parliament, accepted the Government’s proposal to hold
a referendum on the ultimatum, and the Greek people, through a
large majority of 62%, rejected the measures.
During
the referendum week, international and foreign government
officials tried to influence the referendum outcome through
statements terrorizing the people.
The
referendum was held with the banks closed and capital controls
imposed as a result for the ECB’s refusal to provide liquidity
after the proclamation of the referendum.
And yet,
democracy prevailed. The people pronounced themselves clearly and
said a 62% NO to those homicidal measures.
What
followed is a nightmare for every democratic conscience and a
disgrace.
The
creditors refused to consider the referendum outcome. They
insisted, under the threat of provoking a bank-failure and a
humanitarian disaster, that measures harsher than those rejected
be adopted.

The
Brussels-Berlin axis finally marked a Pyrrhic victory against
Tsipras, while managed to get rid of SYRIZA's dangerous radicals. In case of Portugal, the
local pro-euro puppets didn't hesitate to abolish constitutional
order, obviously because they didn't want to risk a Leftist coalition
which might resist against catastrophic policies. Therefore,
democracy is officially terminated by the European Financial
Dictatorship.
This
is another sign of a downgraded Europe, which is unable to retain its
principles and Democratic values. Its inability to find a viable
solution to the refugee problem, make things worse. This is the image
of an increasingly repulsive Europe for its citizens.
These
are signs of a dictatorship which tries hardly to keep its power. The
next big battle will be the Spanish elections. What will happen in
case that the euro-puppets dare to proceed in another coup if the
traditional neoliberal powers lose much of their strength?
Meanwhile,
the Icelanders are giving lessons to the bankster-dominated European
Financial Dictatorship called eurozone, and the bankster-dominated
empire called United States:
“In
two separate Icelandic Supreme Court and Reykjavik District Court
rulings, five top bankers from Landsbankinn and Kaupping — the two
largest banks in the country — were found guilty of market
manipulation, embezzlement, and breach of fiduciary duties. Most of
those convicted have been sentenced to prison for two to five years.
The maximum penalty for financial crimes in Iceland is six years,
although their Supreme Court is currently hearing arguments to
consider expanding sentences beyond the six year maximum.”

Note
that Iceland is not part of the eurozone, not even part of the
European Union.
