"Thank you, Mr President. I am taking the floor so that I can expose an injustice.
Fellow Members, let us not delude ourselves that ordinary Greeks are totally blameless for what has happened in Greece. The reason for what has happened there, and contributed to the financial crisis, is the 14th, 15th and 16th month salary, along with pensions and privileges which do not exist anywhere else in the European Union, and are just completely unknown.
Greece has been lying to the European Central Bank for the last 10 years about the state of its economy. However, now, at this precise juncture, European leaders have voted to give Greece a EUR 110 billion reward for all these lies and this deception. At the same time, countries which have managed their finances in exemplary fashion, like Bulgaria and Estonia, will be punished for this crisis which has occurred, resulting more than likely in the postponement of their entry into the euro area.
This is the application of double standards, which is not worthy of either the euro area or the European Union. It is fair that the guilty are punished and the leaders of the euro area must ask Greece to leave it."@en1
