I for one, do not want to give Greece 1.5 billion Euros, as apparently the European Commission has decided yesterday to ask the member states of the European Union which are not members of the Eurozone to do yesterday, (a total guarantee of 13 billion Euros, split across nine countries, gives an average of 1.44 billion).
The news about this demand was posted by Agerpres, at 16:21, from Sofia (quoted from Bulgarian news agency BTA), reporting that deputy prime-minister Rumyana Bachvarova said that the government in Sophia did not have a "positive" view on the call of the European Commission to help Athens with the new aid program.
No, I don't look at it "positively" either.
First of all, we can hardly make ends meet ourselves, just like the Bulgarians.
And just as important, we've been lucky enough not be in the Eurozone, which now proves to be not a target, or an example to follow, instead, things aren't so rosy over there and now we are actually the ones expected to fix them.
First of all I don't agree to Greece getting money to stay in the Eurozone, but that is a matter of principle, because it was obvious even five years ago that Greece is bankrupt, and that it wasn't able to repay its debts (which were about 300 billion smaller), much less so now, when the wiseguys of the European Commission want to pour in another...devil knows how much more money, since they're talking in combined figures, 90 billion plus some 35 more, plus who knows what else they'll think of over night, to add to what they already can't pay!
Btu first of all, not agreeing on principle is one thing, and another to ask me for money to do that thing that I don't agree with and that means the intensity of my disagreement has just doubled.
First of all, the Greeks don't want to be "helped" by having their islands being taken away, or their electricity, their infrastructure of their ports; they want to be left alone, and I don't want to subsidize that dubious plan.
First of all, when it gives us money, (money which I've never seen a cent of, other than on panels erected all over the place for Victor Rebengiuc), the European Union will also impose absurdly stringent conditions - which are extremely difficult to meet - and so not a cent gets in my accounts, and instead goes into the accounts of the guys playing cops and robbers and who put each other in jail.
First of all, the European Union itself doesn't seem to meet the conditions of financial strictness that it forces upon us, because it is playing with the trillions of Euros like they were bowling balls - it issues 60 billion monthly, out of nothing, it doesn't cost it anything. But it does cost me (on the foreign transactions for example).
First of all, the money that the European Union gives us is just for projects I myself don't need - where is the funding for the press distribution networks, or for supporting journalism, or for printing houses, or simply for newspapers?!; what the hell, hasn't the EU heard about the watchdog of democracy, about the fluidization of information to boost trade, about the role of the press in the economic social and cultural development?!
First of all...I am tired of explaining.
First of all I don't want to!
Man, I don't like it all.
I don't want this request to come in.
I don't even want it to be discussed in the Parliament, because our Parliament is constantly kissing the EU's ass, just like the Greek parliament did, by approving the deal that turns Greeks into slaves, with a background of Molotov cocktails, in the Sintagma Square.
I am worried that the request will be approved by the Romanian government on the spot, without putting it through the Parliament, because we all know doing that would be just a waste of time anyway.
Indeed, at around 16:40, our journalists received a confirmation, from certain sources, that the news published in Bulgaria was correct: "European sources told us that on principle, every one of the 28 EU member states may participate in the third financial aid package for Greece, which may be ready at the end of this month.
This package however is subject to several commitments that Greece must honor, as well as by the result from the parliaments of the countries in the Eurozone that are voting the principle agreement signed on Monday by the countries in the Eurozone and Greece."
The Romanian authorities had no clue about the news.
Nobody did.
Wouldn't you folks like it if we made a Romanian Union?
With Muntenia, Moldova, Transilvania and Dobrogea?
I am willing to give money to Dobrogea.

• 16:21 Bulgaria, wary of participating in the emergency financing for Greece
Sofia, Jul 16 /Agerpres/ - Bulgaria is wary of participating in the emergency financing for Greece, deputy prime-minister Rumyana Bachvarova said on Thursday a "positive" view on the call of the European Commission to help Athens with the new aid program, and she added that the government in Sophia did not have a "positive" view on the call of the European Commission to help Athens with the new aid program.
Bulgaria has not yet announced its position, but the direction it is headed towards, "is not a positive answer ", Rumyana Bachvarova told reporters.
The European Commission asked Bulgaria, as well as the other eight countries in the European Union that are not members of the Eurozone, to contribute through a guarantee to Greece's emergency funding with almost 13 billion Euros.
"We strictly comply with EU regulations and we believe that countries such as Bulgaria, which follow the rules despite every difficulty and that have no resources, should not be expected to save countries that did not follow the rules", the Bulgarian deputy prime-minister said.
Rumyana Bachvarova mentioned that talks on this subject will continue, and Bulgaria's final decision would be announced by prime-minister Boiko Borisov.
