Transfer union (1): Mr. Fricke is mistaken (ENGLISH)

In this video some excerpts from a debate in the German parliament are shown and contrasted with reality. This is the short version. Other than in the long version the intervention of Mr. Carsten Schneider is not included here.

Mr. Otto Fricke (FDP) reacts to a remark of Mr. Carsten Schneider (SPD) who warned of possible risks and conseqences when Greece is "rescued".
Mr. Fricke responds with the amazing remark that the rescue was limited to 22.4 billion euro. "Not a single cent more".

In the meantime also Ireland and Portugal had to be bailed out (bailout).

So this shows another aspect of the whole issue: the truth is only told if it can no longer be denied. The citizens are not informed properly and maybe politicians (rightly) assume that the citizens forget all the promises and errors over time.

The euro desaster unfolds.

The transcript of the whole debate of may 7th 2010 can be read here (German) http://dipbt.bundestag.de/dip21/btp/17/17041.pdf#P.3990
