Nigel Farage: EU kills democracy in Greece
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2011
- Speaking before the European Parliament in Strasbourg on Wednesday, Nigel Farage, president of the EFD Group, plead Mr Barroso to help Greece to get "their currency back and reschedule their debts" after stating that his policies have failed.
As a Greek, it's a shame that an English politician realized this before ours.
That's what happens when you're part of a union and still you cannot avoid overspending and systematic tax evasion. It wasn't the EU's fault that people were taking holiday loans, taxing their companies in tax havens. Populist leaders like Farage obviously make sense superficially but rest assured the truth lies deeper than this loony.
I'm so sorry for greece
And now he realized that BREXIT was a big mistake, good that Greece didn't fall for GREXIT
@@dexevilness953Brexit is a mistake? The UK is doing fine
@@HughMyron372err no we aren’t: the UK's growth-inflation tradeoff is more adverse than in other developed markets. Its growth forecast of 0.6% is below that of the euro area (0.9%) and the US (2.1%) - and yet its expected core inflation, at 3.8%, is higher than the euro area's 2.6% and the US's 3.2%. Food prices and energy are through the fkin roof compared to the eurozone and our GDP down 3% and falling. Oh yeah, and we’re a global laughing stock.
RESPECT from Italy. You're a real man, fighter, honourable. Thanks.
Greece should put in a case to the international criminal court for reparations from the EU.
Greece spent way beyond its means (corruption, black market and early retirement provisions). Goldmans Sachs then showed them how to cook the books so it could join the Euro. It then got itself in a situation where it had to be bailed out by other countries (principally Germany). The Troika insisted on budget restrictions and a repayment plan. Yanis Varoufakis refused to sign up to indefinite debt repayments. It was a mess. Easy for Farage to simplify it, tho, and frame it as the EU pushing Greece around. Is the IMF an EU institution? No.
@@XiagraBalls if you think only Greece cooked the books then you are just badly mistaken. In fact, EU does not accept an audit for many years now for one and only reason. EU books are much much worst than ever Greece's was.
The troika, and Germany of course, imposed on Greece a plan that increased the Greek national debt from 120% back in 2009 to 255% now, 2021!
Hardly a success by any stretch of imagination, or perhaps I am wrong! For most of the EU leaders appears to be a "success story" apparently!
We were force by IMF, EU and Germany (of course Germany never admits anything) to borrow over 200 billion euros knowing full well that we can to pay it back so the French and the German banks wouldn't go bust! Varoufakis didn't signed up because as an economist he know full well that we cant pay that back but guess what?
The aim of this extraordinary about of money lent to Greece was not to take the money back. It was the Plan B of EU. To humiliate Greece and to be made an example for the next country which might refuse to follow the German rules!
That's the naked truth!
@@dimitriskouris7949 I've listened to Varoufakis talk about this, but he also admits that Greece didn't do itself any favours in the first place.
@@XiagraBalls I've listened to Varoufakis almost every talk, speech and interview. The fact is, EU abused its powers, ignored the facts and imposed sanctions and blackmailed Greece. The history never lies.
This guy is THE MAN!
Nigel Farage is a really wise man we need people like him in the eu
Nigel you have the rispect and support from us Greek people
keep walking man....
Nigel is wise enough to stay OUT of eu.🤣🤣🤣🤣
you are a bunch of greek nazis, democracy with a worthless currency is worthless.
alleyteris al Lobby your country for a referendum and join us my Greek friend! Unshackle yourselves from the EU monster!
f W. Truly wise
He fears no one and has the guts to speak up to the EU bullies. Well done Nigel Farage.
The IMF isn't an EU body.
@@XiagraBalls no but the eu has a lot of influence in the crooked imf
The EU is nothing but the exploitation of unethical immorality
I miss this guy in EU, he could troll Guy Verhofstadt 24/7 like a boss.
facts
He is still in his DMs making fake accounts. Guy has cursed his entire bloodline but still Farage is not deterred
Like live the deadbeats of this controversy of frivolous nonsense. Their dead in secularism and socialism
Nigel you night in shining armor! Bless you! Truth rule out!

Never in my life I have listened and stood in awe as I do when I hear Farage speaking.... just wow. He can take those hundred MEPs all together.
And he doesn’t have to look at notes, he just says it as it is.
We love you Greece
nicely put my friend
Nigel hit the nail on the head on that occasion as is usually the case for Nigel.
well said...again.....you are the voice of reason.....
And he was right all the way
@Seventh7Art But Greece failed every test for being admitted to the Euro yet still the Eurocrats let her join.So it is not just the Greek government which is to blame
We were the same in the UK ,as we relied to much on our past ,and the trouble is,when people keep telling you that they are better than you, in both industry and agriculture etc it tends to make you doubt confidence in what you can achieve. Greece has had a few set backs over recent years of course she has, but don’t let that put you down because you could once again be a great nation. All it needs is faith in yourselves so go for it
This guy is very consistent...
You are very lucky this guy is no longer in the European Parliament.
That man is legend.
Thank you very much.
Notice that, that French guy (possibly, French, anyway), at the conclusion, of this video 'clip', refered to Mr Nigel Farage, deliberately wrongly as though he couldn't pronounce his name! - He's 'fooling', no-one! He did that purposely, thereby, thus making a slanderous remark to Mr Nigel Farage! He said a 'bad' word to him, by 'playing' on his name as the French word 'faràge, is, not, the same as: Farage!
I can sense intellegence coming out of his mouth
I can sense gullibility.
I can sense populism and that's very dangerous mate.
Amazing how accurate his statement have been all these years later.
full version?
Yeahhh we re out now and hopefully Greece will follow, it’s been a long fought battle but we did it. You can too
we hope so! much love to our brothers in Britain from Greece
The germans will refuse to pay the bill. Has that happened before?
And now David Cameron as well!
I hope Americans are watching this. Our democracy has been taken over by international corporations. The will of the people no longer determines our future. Please join your nearest occupy site and send a message that we will not give up our freedom and soverngty so easily. Occupy is peaceful now but if the government continues the violence against peaceful protesters, I fear they will not remain so for long. Without your voice, peaceful protest in America could turn into violent riots. Peace!
Some Americans are watching and listening intently to Nigel Farage and the points he makes. His words are not landing on deaf ears. But not enough Americans are listening. We are not seeing the similarities between what's happening to the UK with the EU and what's happening between the Republican and Democrat parties. The three branches of Gov't here was supposed to be about checks and balances when infact now every branch wants to be captain of the ship.
Those who would grab power do so slowly, chipping away at basic freedoms. Most people dont realize they are giving up sovereignty until it's too late.
Masterful orator
Gretings from Serbia !!!
Corporatism and fascism are so closely intertwined.
Italian Fascism was corporatism that’s why. Corpo-ration, Corpus = body, body of the nation. They are arms of the state.
Golden Dawn: well well well, hello there
@Seventh7Art What about Ireland, Portugal, spain and Italy?
Well well, Greece's GDP grew by 5.9% in 2022 much better than Brexitland.
And Germany, the sick man of Europe. 😂😅😂
It could only go one way. It has been on its knees thanks to bad governance. 😂😂😂😂
Nigel is absolutely right. 👍👍👍👍
Yeah as if you aint biased to want the EU crumble and beg for your shady gas pipe?
Its February 6th 2020 we have left The European Union Thank you NIGEL FARAGE !!!!!
Greece was warned, but they never cared , Well well well look at you know!!!!
Greece wasn't warned, it was offended that if they don't take another bailout things could get worse
We should help Greece . Ok they have made mistakes but ain't we all made mistakes.
@sablin thanks
I was in Greece a couple of years ago I love the people. We sat outside a place to eat in Athens the waiter got talking to me and said wish Greece could have the vote to stay or leave the EU. He said just like the UK I'm sure we would leave . Why not give them the chance to vote it's called democracy.
8 now. I guess Guy Verhofstadt dislikes this too.
The problem is that certain european leaders couldn't "fight back" to the speculators attack not to Greece or Ireland but to EURO itself... and now are just trying to find escape goats in Greece,Ireland,Portugal,Spain and in the future maybe Italy to justify themselves to their voters.
We love Nigel and Greece 🇬🇷
1euro = 340 drachma
You do the math. How it forced the cost of living in greece.
@KPAracing nah, it was me :)
Go, Nigel, Go.
Nigel Farage jest bohaterem dla Polski
Well, well Mr. Nigel Farage you said what God wanted you to say. The Lord is smiling on you pertaining to equality and Justification. Peace God give to you. 🙏🏽📖😇
So Greece didn't default...
@1482 this is not completely true: I'd love a truly democratic european union were both states and citizens were represented and where commission and council were accountable and removable in front of parliament and not like now unamovable servants of less than transparent interest, able to bypass the parlaiment at will.
😨😱😱
🇩🇪🇲🇸💙👍
in the cage No33 i was held in Corydalos.... :D:D:D
@ShwangShwing
Greece will propably default in economic terms... but you have already defaulted in moral terms...
What does "a blue card to you" at the end of the video mean?
It means that someone wants to ask the speaker a question or comment on something..
What is a Blue Card???
The Greek people are pissed off big style, ive seen them going out early in the morning collecting snails to eat, because they cant afford meat.
The problem is the Greeks give up the will to fight for their freedom, we are out of the EU I wonder if now the Greeks get of their arse and fight for their independence, maybe not. 😔
BRILLIANT
I like him too, but he has two major flaws:
1) he has Mr. Borghezio in his parlamentary group
2) All due criticism of lack of democracy and all the exposing of less than transparent mechanisms of european bodies is aimed at the destruction of the euro project, not at its emendement.
Fine guy nevertheless: I love the face of Rampuy when Farell says "We expected the man who would represent europe before the world but we have got you instead... who are you?" priceless!
As a greek, he is nothing but right
Right now, it's eight. Someone from the Nobel Prize Comitee came across RUclips. ;-)
They want that division,
Bottom left, Jan Eppink (Dutch)? Why he is laughing at 0:43? Somebody shouting something?
Seems like the Anglo/American press and right wing constantly want to emphasize that Germany is 'fed up' with bailing out Greece (as though it's only Germany pulling the weight) and the Euro is a failed project in the hopes of it becoming accepted truth.
I remember last year when we had a similar ordeal, and BloombergTV was parading one market specialist after the other predicting how the Euro would reach dollar parity or worse by summer of 2010, and instead the Euro ended up above $1.40
Why can't the EU give Greece a vote either to stay in the EU or leave it's called democracy.
Greeks love getting money for nothing. They want the money, but do not want to pay it. Why should we Germans support the Greeks financially.
Greeks would never leave the EU, it's money they receive without any repayment. Life in Greece is great at the expense of the German tax payers.
@@misyjane9201 I feel sorry for you.
USING THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY MOST OF THE PARTIES DOESNT MEAN THAT HEIR POLITICALS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT DEMOCRACY - BRAKE THE PRESENT PARTIES SYSTEM AND CREATE A NEW WAY TO LEAD PEOPLES LIFE
a guy talking about serious matters and the rest of the supposed serious members yeling and laughing like its a kindergarden?
i wont be surprised if hes silenced in any way ( expelled or something)
i have to say that u can say there is an actual rivalry betweeen the two nations. just because u dont love some1 doesnt mean that u hate him. thats my opinion anyway
7 Nil.
isnt democracy also disappearing in UK and USA? besides, a democracy with a worthless currency isn't really a democracy as its not sovereign.
The UK has never been an official democracy, as Parliament is sovereign: not the population. Even the EU referendum of 2016 wasn't legally binding on the government. The electorate vote on campaign pledges, which can be ignored legally once a government is formed. UK Parliament is actually an elected dictatorship, with the MP's as an aristocracy.
@CelticSouthland Yes, it is ironical. Are you Irish?
er hat recht
I despise Farage for what he has done in the UK, but as a Greek, I have to admit that he has explained the situation very well.
As a Brit I, and many others adore what he has done. Just a shame incompetent politicians didn’t get the best out of Brexit. Hopefully the man himself gets the job one day and really makes this correct decision shine.
@@Matt-rq3bu Brexit was destined to fail from the beginning. The UK has turned itself into a rule taker from the EU market without having any say as to the creation of new rules. You can't trade with the EU without following the rulebook they wrote.
Just admit that Brexit has been a failure already
It’s the Tories that fkd up. Get your facts right.
Misteink help stop asilon.
The Greek people are so laid back, and take life as it comes day to day..."avrio" their freindly attitude to life is taken advantage of, get their life back, get the drachma back, lets "turn the page".
Long live Nigel Farage.Kindergarden lol.
usain bolt
There is a man near my previous place named Yuna, or Yunani or Greece. I do not like him, he was a lie man.
I am Greek and don't agree with him. The problem was not the euro but former Greek policy. I blame the governments of Greece, not the euro.
It’s both of their fault you fucking moron. Moron comes from the Greek work moro, which means baby. You are stupid like a baby?
7 years past do u still have the same brainwashed opinion?
I am Greek too a real Greek though.
All has turned out ok now in 2020

@beastinblack The governments are to blame, not the EU. National corruption is not EU's fault.
So the eu is perfect ? Ade re Gammisou re Malaka
You must American am I right?
When the EU was formed,it was formed it was a brilliant idea , countries traded with each other ,and the richer countries helped look after the poorer ones. Now look what it’s become ,it doesn’t need me to carry on about how it’s changed from the caring community of countries that it once was .

I had a lot of respect for Nigel Farage in his successful attempts to finally get the UK out of the EU, but he lost a lot of credibility in my eyes when he supported Donald Trump in his presidency of the USA. Undoubtedly on of the worst presidents in American history.
Better than joe Biden.
Biden is ruining America and starting wars and you say trump was the bad guy
Amrica couldn't give a hoot about UK. Same for russsia. They do it for their own interests. America first, russian world = russian peace.
Trump 2024.
Farage is an honourable gentleman.

They saved Ukraine while the European Union twiddled their thumbs. Covid was a mess for Europe and now you have your puppet masters Germany in recession. Glory to Brexit.
Nigel is sad because his boyfriend left him... :D
Says the guy from a country that commited massacres against India
Farage is the one who screwed up England with his Brexit. He promised to leave the country if Brexit did’nt work but he broke his promise. Now he is advising EU about Greece. Give me a brake!
Do you mean break?
