Rousseau said that only represents what is not. Therefore, if represents the people, the people are not. These days the negotiations of Greece and its current situation has shown that the troika and the northern countries implementing economic annexation to the South (or PIGS) are interested in the people are not. Les interested overseers of their interests in countries that are conquering through the economy. We face a development of imperialism that breaks democracy.
After 2500 years we have to go back to the cradle of democracy, we must return to rethink its concept , if the concept of people power. And it is that denying the right to decide the Greek people etymologically negates democracy. It seems that people only serves to feed the state and the interest you have to pay this, and instead, does not serve to decide their future. We face a question of concept of the people, a question of maturity.
Germany and other northern countries remain committed to applying their model cuts (not austerity) for an economic recovery. Model that is being implemented since the beginning of the economic crisis and that has served nothing but to cut rights and the welfare state. While it is true that Germany would work this system, this system is applied to a different economic, political and social paradigm.
Several European leaders are determined to scare the people, both the Greek people like other countries where similar forces are rising politically Syriza. is determined to activate the mechanism that denies the more reason, fear.
We have the words of De Guindos “The Greek people pay the consequences of a referendum” , or the words of Jean-Claude Juncker (President of the European Commission) “Do not commit suicide for fear of death, we must vote yes regardless of the question,” turning the referendum to a yes or no to Europe.
It may be understandable that criticize policies Syriza. What is not understandable is that double standard patterns of the European Union, in which democracy is defended when he obeys some interest as there is a “suicide”.
The Greek government received just over 40% of voting so decide an important question would not necessarily approach the posture of the people, even that this issue should be on the political agenda of Syriza.
Since the situation affects not only Greece but the entire world, one might question the validity of which is held by the people and away from direct or indirect democracy we find that the most important is how it affects Market every government action. For example after the announcement of the referendum in Greece we can see that the Ibex 35 has led the decline in the stock market with almost 4% since the opinion of the people seem to fear.
We would have to ask two basic questions on the current democracy that give us the Greeks events. First representative issue and secondly the issue of sovereignty to the markets. Each who raised their answers, but yes, if we do not question the current democracy in the following countries fall under the faces of modern colonialism we will be us, that if we have not already fallen.
