In Greece as everywhere else, debt is an
instrument to subject the people to the interest of the wealthy. In the
name of debt, the Troïka and the Eurogroup have forced Greece to
continue to implement austerity policies. However, many movements
throughout Europe refuse to bow to the blackmail, and are now looking
for alternatives. Debt audits already took and are taking place in
several countries, and we now need to compare and disseminate their
results.
During this Assembly on Debt, Zoé Konstantopoulou looks back on how
the memoranda were imposed to Greece and the reasons why it is urgent to
build alternatives to face to neoliberal policies undertaken by Europe
and the Troika.
