lpv:translated text	"The mafia is the major cause of the crisis. I will give you a few examples from my own country, Romania. Believe you me, as a writer and historian who runs a daily newspaper and a weekly magazine, I know very well what I am talking about. Since 1990, approximately 6 000 companies valued at EUR 700 billion have been privatised fraudulently. Unfortunately, only EUR 7 billion, or 1% of this money, has been received so far. In many cases, it was not even privatisation being carried out, but the transfer of assets from the ownership of the Romanian state to the ownership of other states, in other words, nationalisation. This is no longer a market economy, but a jungle economy. This situation is being repeated in several Balkan countries where the local mafia has joined forces with the cross-border mafia to form an organised crime cartel. Just like 100 years ago, the Balkan Peninsula is sitting on a powder keg. The flame of social protest may quickly spread from Greece to the other countries in the region. While in the 20th century, we spoke about exporting revolution, in the 21st century, we can talk about exporting bankruptcy. Starvation is the most powerful electoral factor in history. We must switch the focus from the fight against corruption, which is some abstract notion, to the fight against the corrupt. The population’s mood is becoming increasingly gloomy and if we fail to put an end to the fraud in our countries, the European Union’s noble project will collapse like a sandcastle. However, there is one hope of salvation: radical solutions are required at such an historic crossroads. It is not under control the mafia needs to be, but under the ground."@en1
