AΞιοτιμη κυρια Angela Merkel
Αν μεσα απο τις πολιτικες σας πραξεις ασχολειστε μονο με τα στενα οικονομικα συμφεροντα της γερμανιας, μακροπροθεσμα (αλλα υπαρχει και περιπτωση βραχυπροθεσμα) θα ζημιωσετε τους παντες( και εννοω πρωτα απο ολα την γερμανικη βιομηχανια και τους γερμανους εργαζομενους)
ΜΕΤΑ τις σταχτες του πολεμου οι ελληνες δεν φερθηκαν μισαλοδοξα απεναντι στους γερμανους. ουδεποτε απαιτησαν οποιαδηποτε περιορισμο της εθνικης κυριαρχιας του ΓΕΡΜΑΝΙΚΟΥ ΛΑΟΥ. (ΑΝΤΙΘΕΤΑ με αλλους που μοιραζαν την γερμανια σε ζωνες επιροης)
Πως λοιπον καποιος μπορει να τολμα να αναφερεται σε περιορισμο της εθνικης κυριαρχιας του ΕΛΛΗΝΙΚΟ ΛΑΟΥ;
-------------------------
ehrenwerte frau Angela Merkel
Wenn durch die politischen Handlungen nur mit dem engen wirtschaftlichen Interessen von Deutschland, langfristig (aber es gibt Fälle kurzfristig) befassen wird jeder Schaden (und damit meine ich in erster Linie die deutsche Industrie und deutsche Arbeiter)
NACH der Asche des Krieges der Griechen sind nicht behandelte sie intolerant gegenüber den Deutschen. nie behaupten, jede Einschränkung der Souveränität des deutschen Volkes. (Im Gegensatz zu anderen, die der deutsche Anteil in Bereichen zu beeinflussen)
Also, wie jemand in Deutschland oder anderswo wagen, um Einschränkungen der Souveränität griechischen Volkes zu beziehen?
If through the political acts you only deal with the narrow economic interests of Germany, long term (but there are cases short-term) will harm everyone (and I mean first of all the German industry and German workers)
AFTER the ashes of war the Greeks are not treated them intolerant towards the Germans. never claim any limitation of the sovereignty of the German people. (Unlike others who share the German in areas of influence)
so, How does anyone in Germany or elsewhere dare to refer to limitations of sovereignty GREEK PEOPLE?
-------------- I TRANSLATED via GOOGLE TRANSLATION, also i am sorry if something not transllated in the way i wanted.
Hi ZEUSosX, I tried to figure out what you were trying to say by reading the German and the English version. Sadly I had to guess quite often… I did not understand this part at all:
Το να αποστελεται Γερμανους ειτε αξιωματουχους του διεθνους νομισματικου ταμειου (οπως συμβαινει αυτη την στιγμη) στην ελλαδα, και εφοσον ο ελληνικος λαος δεν το επιθυμει, δεν ειναι ηθικο, δικαιο , αλλα και αποτελεσματικο. ----------------------
Αν υπηρχε δυνατοτητα να σας ψηφισω, εαν και εφοσον δειξετε οτι ειστε αληθινη φιλλεληνας, και σας δινοταν και η υπηκοοτητα, οσο και αν αυτο ακουγεται ισως παραδοξο η απιθανο, και εφοσον υποστηριζατε τα συμφεροντα του ελληνικου λαου δεν νομιζω κανεις να σας αποστρεφοταν, το αντιθετο θα ησασταν και αγαπητη, οχι λεγοντας ψεματα αλλα προστατευοντας την αξιποπρεπεια και την ιστορια του ελληνικου λαου. φυσικα τα παραπανω μπορει να ακουγονται παραξενα ειτε παραδοξα , ομως προερχονται απο μια δυνατη και γενικευμενη αποψη των ελληνων πολιτων η οποια χαρακτηριζεται απο ενιαια ευρωπαικη αντιληψη.
Could you try to use shorter sentences? Maybe Google can than translate it more correctly.
This is what I think I understood (maybe you could use Google to translate it and then see if it has somewhat the same meaning as what you where trying to say): --- Brief von GRIECHENLAND
Sehr geehrte Frau Angela Merkel,
Wenn Sie über Griechen sprächen, verwechseln Sie bitte nicht das griechische Volk (1) mit dem politischen administrativen und legislativen Macht-System (2) von Griechenland, die zwei völlig unterschiedliche Dinge sind.
Die Mehrzahl der Griechen ist fleißig, kreativ und würdevoll. Im Gegensatz zu ihnen sind die griechischen politischen Führer in der Mehrheit aber anmaßende, inkompetente Lügner.
Wenn Sie das griechische Volk aus finanziellen Gründen bestrafen wollen, wird dies zum Ausgangspunkt des Hasses zwischen Griechen und Deutschen. Dies könnte zum Zerfall der Europäischen Union führen. --------------------------------------------------
Das was hätte schon getan werden müssen, ist die Kräfte, die in Griechenland gegen diese autoritären politischen Status kämpfen, zu stärken.
Verlangen Sie, dass die Steuern bei denjenigen greifen, die Steuern in Höhe von Mio. Euro hinterzogen haben. Weil diese die Menschen sind, die mit dem korrupten und autoritären Status quo verflochten sind und daher nicht nur Griechenland und sein Volk ins Verderben getrieben haben, sondern, durch ihre Aktionen, auch indirekt allen europäischen Bürger schaden (über die finanziellen Folgen).
Damit Griechenland wieder wachsen und sein Status auf die Verhältnisse von vor 2009 zurückkehren kann, muss seine Genesung vor der Bestrafung Vorrang haben. Daher sollte durch den Europäischen Entwicklungsfonds in das Finanzkapital investiert werden.
--------------------------------------
Bisher ist der einfache griechische Steuerzahler gezwungen worden alle Straftaten durch Steuererhebungen zu bezahlen.
Europa sollte die Märkte unter Druck setzen und nicht umgekehrt.
Geld ist nur dann sinnvoll, wenn es für den Fortschritt und das Glück der Bürger eingesetzt wird.
Der einfache, griechische Steuerzahler ist nicht in der Lage diese Situation zu akzeptieren. Und Sie können sich 100%ig sicher sein, dass dies zu einem Domino-Effekt führen wird, denn niemand mehr kontrollieren werden kann.
Aber es ist eine ganz andere Sache, wenn Sie Sanktionen auf das Volk von Griechenland verhängen. Denn Sie wurden nicht von uns gewählt und haben daher kein Recht die Souveränität Griechenlands zu beschneiden.
Wenn es Anti-Deutsches oder Anti-Europäisches Verhalten von dem griechischen Volk gibt, wird dies das Ergebnis der spezifischen Instrumente sein, die Sie und anderer politischer Führer den Griechen aufgebürdet haben.
Wenn es eine Strafe geben sollte, dann nicht die Einziehung der Vermögenswerte der griechischen Bürger und nicht des Staats Griechenland, sondern des politischen Systems und der darin involvierten Menschen.
Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg wurden die Griechen nicht von Deutschland entschädigt. Ich schreibe dies nicht, weil ich etwas als Person, noch als Grieche verlange, aber Sie sollten eine höhere Sensibilität für das griechische Volk an den Tag legen. -
Denken Sie positiv für das griechische Volk und nicht negativ.
Negative Gedanken führen nur zur Zwietracht, Intoleranz und Leid. ------------------------
Sehr geehrte Frau Angela Merkel,
Wenn Sie sich bei Ihren politischen Handlungen nur mit den langfristigen, engen wirtschaftlichen Interessen von Deutschland befassen (obwohl es auch kurzzeitige gibt), wird jeder Schaden davon tragen (und damit meine ich in erster Linie die deutsche Industrie und deutsche Arbeiter).
NACH der Asche des Krieges haben die Griechen sich niemals intolerant gegenüber den Deutschen gezeigt. Nie die Einschränkung der Souveränität des deutschen Volkes verlangt. (Im Gegensatz zu anderen, die Deutschland in Einflusszonen teilten)
Also, wie kann jemand in Deutschland oder anderswo es wagen, Einschränkungen der Souveränität des griechischen Volkes zu fordern?
--------------
Als JF Cennedy nach Berlin ging, sagte er „Ich bin ein Berliner.“ Er wurde durch seine Handlungen bestätigt.
well it is very difficult for me to writte in english or to translate greek to english or german.
the general meaning of my letter is this :
it is the political parties of greece the problem, not the people.
and the last paragraph :
AFTER the ashes of war the Greeks are not treated them intolerant towards the Germans. never claim any limitation of the sovereignty of the German people. (Unlike others who share the German in areas of influence)
so, How does anyone in Germany or elsewhere dare to refer to limitations of sovereignty GREEK PEOPLE?
---------------
now about the exact translation of the greek paragraphs you reffer, for understanding i will try to explain further what is happening in greece.
the prime minister of greece Papandreu in 2009 brought the International Monetary Fund to greece , this mean the american capital to a state country of the european union. so this was an invasion of america to the internal of european union. Papandreu himself is also AMERICAN citizen with usa passport.
for bring the International Monetary Fund to greece under his commands the statistic foundation of greece said that greece has a bigger debt that it was in reality.
so then he could asked for 'help', that means to be controled the country from the International Monetary Fund
before 2 weeks there were members of the greek statistic foundation , who had reffered to this.
so you understand now how big is the corruption to this country. and all this time there was in europe newspapers and magazines such as focus in germany and many others, which said how lasy are the greeks and many other lies. those lies pushed the country to a real debt problem, as noone trust it.
so as you see to this 'game' there many players , which destroy complete our economy and our future. and then germany said, ok i will give you some money but you have to pay about 6% or 7% . and there was no other way as the International Monetary Fund dont leave us to msake any development policy, as its members wanted their past money back.
so the men of the International Monetary Fund every some months goes to the ministries of greece and give orders and behave as the masters of the country.
so in my paragraph , i reffer that also lately in nowdays also some germans have sended from the german goverment for similar reason and i just reffer that all those are not wellcome from greek people. because we the greek people we have not choosen any of these. ofcourse all those become because of the greek prime minister.
i have not problem to accept any german real help , advice or whatever, me and most of people we are not against european or against german./
but the real problem is the greek political persons, parties , system. we , the greek people have not given them the licence to do those actions.
in my brief i asked the help from germany for eleiminate them, as the actions of them are against to the people of greece but also to europe.(that means also against german economy)
they brought the american capital control to europe.
i am not anti american, i just love greece and europe. here i speak about the american capital , not about american people. many american people are friends of mine and i am friends of them.
but here we speak about capital invasion from big funds not from investment of any simple people.
---
then to next paragraph i say that if there was a chance that the prime minister of germany could have greek passport, and she was trully ready to defend the interests of greek people then i could vote her as prime minister of greece.
with that i mean that i (and many other) have not anything against the prime minister of germany, as a person or as german.
but because we, the greek people suffer from the taxes that have push us to poverty, i ask her to prottect us = the greek people.
there is apart of people in greece that make buisness the last 40 years and the majority of them have not paid the true taxes that they should pay.
the greek goverments have very close relations with them (some of them also have newspapers, television channels etc) so in my letter i say that if someone has to pay in greece taxes, its them.
------------ i saw the video.
today all the world speak about solar energy transforming to electric, or wind energy transforming to electric , electric cars, batteries etc
did you know that in GREECE made electrical vehicles about 1975 but the goverments of greece bother it and made million of problems so the industry that made it stoped exist? [link]
its unbelieveble what is happening to this country from the goverments.
it was my dream that any family in europe, with the technology rhat we have could have a small or a bigger part of land, so to make via control robots, vegetables and whatever needed from earth. robots energy would be electric, taken from wind and the sun (solar) so also industries should work to this way, so people could leave a better life, make more personal projects and use more of their time for themselves. ------------------
Ah, thank you. I now understand what you were trying to say. I followed the media about the development in Greece from the time on when our media had nothing better to do than to print stuff like that: [link] <_<’’’’ But since then, the media has changed its way of reporting greatly (=> it shows as many opinions as possible) and since I don’t understand much about economics, I don’t know who is telling the truth and who is lying (or simply does not know any better).
But maybe I can explain to you the German view of what is happening. --- When we (the German public) first heard about the possibility that we might have to give money to Greece, many people became very angry and quite many magazines / TV-shows fueled this anger by writing very degrading things about Greece. The people reacted this way because: 1) When the Euro got establish, one of the main promises was that no country would have to pay for each other’s debts. 2) Just a short while before the “Greek-crisis”, our politicians made big cuts in the welfare system. They told us that they had to do this so that Germany can stay competitive with other nations. So now people thought that they had been lied to and that they had to pay for other people that did not have to suffer from cuts in the welfare system. (Not to mention that some Greeks started a protest… this was seen as quite ungrateful).
---
But as soon as some Greeks got hurt (or died) most of the media changed its view. It then tried to show what was happening to the people of Greece and whether or not the accusations it had made before, were founded (in most cases they weren’t…).
--- Then came Nations like the USA and tolled Germany that it should take the leading part in the Euro-crisis. This did not sit well with many Germans because “Germany as the leader” brought back many bad memories…
--- Nowadays the media is mostly focusing on: - how much will we have to pay? - how will this affect other in-debt-countries? (Italy, Portugal,….) - how will this affect giver-countries? (Especially those that have a lower standard of living than Greece) - what can Germany and its companies do to make Greece competitive? -what is keeping investors away from Greece? (For example: the corruption) -What are the rich Greeks doing to help their country? (…not much… they try to save their money by buying houses in Berlin…… -_-‘’’’) - What are Greeks saying about Greece? (They show every opinion from people that say “Just give us the money without any strings attached” to people that say “Don’t give Greece any money. It’s their own fault, so they have to suffer the consequences by themselves”. -How much do we (the Euro-countries) have to hurt the independency of Greece so that the money will be spent on making Greece more competitive instead of making rich people richer? -How can we prevent another crisis from happening? -Will the things that our politicians are doing help the Greeks in the long run (even if they might hurt them now) or do they only care about the banks?
--- I hope that our politicians can help Greece. And I think there must be some strings attached to the money so that other countries will have to think twice before they make richer countries their paymasters. I hope that the situation in Greece will soon get better and that the Greeks won’t have to suffer too much because of the austerity.
i have not much time for answer and explain [perchaps when i find time i will explain more) for now please read this in german (it is not exactly what i mean but it is a very good aproach) [link]
I tried to figure out what you were trying to say by reading the German and the English version. Sadly I had to guess quite often…
I did not understand this part at all:
Το να αποστελεται Γερμανους ειτε αξιωματουχους του διεθνους νομισματικου ταμειου (οπως συμβαινει αυτη την στιγμη) στην ελλαδα, και εφοσον ο ελληνικος λαος δεν το επιθυμει, δεν ειναι ηθικο, δικαιο , αλλα και αποτελεσματικο.
----------------------
Αν υπηρχε δυνατοτητα να σας ψηφισω, εαν και εφοσον δειξετε οτι ειστε αληθινη φιλλεληνας, και σας δινοταν και η υπηκοοτητα, οσο και αν αυτο ακουγεται ισως παραδοξο η απιθανο, και εφοσον υποστηριζατε τα συμφεροντα του ελληνικου λαου δεν νομιζω κανεις να σας αποστρεφοταν, το αντιθετο θα ησασταν και αγαπητη, οχι λεγοντας ψεματα αλλα προστατευοντας την αξιποπρεπεια και την ιστορια του ελληνικου λαου.
φυσικα τα παραπανω μπορει να ακουγονται παραξενα ειτε παραδοξα , ομως προερχονται απο μια δυνατη και γενικευμενη αποψη των ελληνων πολιτων η οποια χαρακτηριζεται απο ενιαια ευρωπαικη αντιληψη.
