I told you so...

Few blogs ago I told you about the frauds governing Greece nowadays and about how contemporary Greeks, if they managed to elect again the same party to government, actually deserved what they were about to get...

I believe I got it right this time. I am not just a cranky old fart moaning all the time. I think I know better. Not even a week after the conservative party declared victory in last Sunday's elections a big time fraud scandal is on the making.

It appears that, whilst Bouloukos (their arrogant fatso PM) has been promising that the policy of distributing devastated forrest territories to fraudulous property developers would not apply if he got elected, guess what: his own Ministry of Finance has been selling out devastated territories to property developers from the back door. At the same time, the EC morons who naively and with little control distribute hundreds of millions of our own taxpayer money to these frauds are about to ship to them no less than 600M € ($840M) to help with the 'restoration of the territories back to their forrest state and contribute to the protection of endangered species' (you wish). In other words, (shitloads of) hard cash finding its way into the wrong pockets and into some cool Swiss bank accounts. Now tell me, are these Eurocrats stupid? corrupt? or both? the latter gets my vote...

Anyways, as I said, Greeks deserve what they get. The ruling party massively used all known tricks of the trade (Bouloukos learned his lesson well from uncle Kostas) to convince 43% of a moron electorate to vote for them again and those Greek idiots trapped right into it. This country is in shambles. The Socialists had a historic opportunity to beat the conservatives out of government for good but instead they f*cked up real big. One of the reasons is their stubborn decision to maintain that gray and charmless character Giorgos Papandreou, son of legendary Andreas, as head of the Party. The man looks so sad and sexless. The kind of dude that triggers Omer Simpson into a loud cry of 'Boring!' Nevertheless, they all pretend he's the best money can buy. Like the Emperor's clothes sort of thing. About time they send the poor sod to retirement... once a loser, always a loser. In the meantime, the current generations will have to put-up again with four more years of fraude, incompetence and national disasters.

For sure, there is no way I am going back there anytime soon... Belgium is not the role model for clean politics either but, at least in our coalition governments, one party checks-upon another and Greek type frauds are more difficult to get thru... or, are they?!?!
