Under
the title "Greece becomes a source of revenue (for Germany),"
the economic newspaper Handelsblatt presents the hyper-profits for
the German company Fraport that come from the airports sold-off by
the SYRIZA-Independent Greeks government coalition.
The
newspaper notes that profits surpassed even the most optimistic
predictions of analysts as Fraport Greece offered the group 180
million euros. Only in April the regional airports offered 106
million euros.
The
sale of the airports is considered to be one of the most scandalous
public property concessions worldwide, not only because of the
deceptively low price, but also because of the colonial terms that
the SYRIZA government has accepted.
Recall
that the details of the sale had been set out for the Greek side by a
subsidiary of Lufthansa, which participates in the shareholder scheme
of Fraport. The buyer therefore determined the details of the sale.
Speaking
at the Greek newspaper, EfSyn, the president of Federation of
Association of Hellenic Civil Aviation Authority, Vasilis
Alevizopoulos, spoke about "a clear blackmail of Germany and
Schauble [former German Minister of Finance] against our country",
adding that "their target is the profits from the Greek
tourism and without investing even the slightest."
An
even more impressive fact is that, as Fraport did not have the
necessary funds, he thought of borrowing from ... Greek taxpayers
through various funds in which Greece participates too.
Among
the four sources of financing presented by the company were Alpha
Bank (recapitalized by taxpayers), Black Sea Trade and Development
Bank (in which Greece participates with 16.5%) and the International
Bank for Reconstruction and Development (IBRD) together with the
International Finance Corporation (to which Greece also
participates).
A
great performance for the German big capital, profiting from its -
economically devastated - debt-colony Greece.
