Anne Will Show discusses euro crisis

Anne Will is a talk show on German television station ARD. This evening there was a discussion on the crisis in Greece.

German actor, trade unionist and a friend of Greece, Rolf Becker, quoted a comment made by Goebbels that they would if necessary kill the people of Greece like flies. He also reminded the viewers that Germany had made no significant financial payments for the horror they caused in the World War ll.

Gregor Gysi of Die Linke - The Left Party - was critical of the system whereby the banks make money on loaning to Greece without adding one cent to the value of the money. He also argued that because Germany is the second largest largest exporter in the word after China, it needs the euro far more so than the Greeks.

Gysi called for the nationalisation of the banks and not just the collapsed banks. He believes the banks are far too powerful.
