SPATIAL STRATEGIES SOLUTIONS

After long and exhausting negotiations the Greek government could not come to terms with their creditors, and decided to call a referendum to ask they fellow countrymen, the people who elected them, whether they would like to accept the terms offered, or not. Nothing terrible or unusual if wiewed from an angle of "democratic standards". I`d rather say it is a fair move.

Still, the mention of the word referendum is stirring an unprecedented outrage among the appointed defenders of democracy, the leaders of EU. Now they are sending messages to people of Greece, likening the referendum to suicide or as a way of "playing one democracy against 18 others". Strange formulations. How did it come to pass that referendums were a valid democratic tool used in EU accession processes, but become an outrage when people are asked about the burdens they are willing to take on?

Many people think i is about the money. But it is not. I`m no expert on finances, but many economists seem to think it is more about the trust, and I agree. It is about the EU leadership loosing it`s back, the support for their lofty illusions about their role in history. And the hypothetical support of the masses, the back, or the mountain as I have explained in an earlyer post is the most important thing to have for "democratic" leaders of today.

And if the referendum shall vote "Ohi" (No), as they fear, that renders their backs unprotected, their doings and intentions of earlyer questionable, and they will "lose their face". For OHI at the referendum would mean "the King is Naked"
