And the ECB (European Central Bank - those heroes of the euros) makes sure that it stays that way. At least for the foreseeable future...the corruption from the south is made sure to spread to the north...until they all collapse and the Brussels polit bureau can sweep in to their long-awaited full power grab.
Oh, fortunately people are getting wise to that, and it may not play out that way after all. Those Brussels commissars are going to get Ceaucescue’ed sooner or later...:)
The corruption “from the north” has been an ongoing, regular feature, but for some reason, governmental extortion doesn’t seem to be considered corruption there.
All of Europe is completely sunk in leftist corruption because the socialist forces there have given government and government employees incredible and absolute power, and we all know what absolute power does.
