The European institutions are turning against the people

In an interview to the Spanish website tmex.es, the former Speaker of the Hellenic Parliament, Zoe Konstantopoulou, spoke about the ongoing financial catastrophe in Greece, imposed by the European institutions and the IMF. She revealed how these actually destroyed democracy in Greece, eliminated parliamentary procedures, and, imposed unconstitutional measures that brought the country in much worse economic situation over the last six years.

She described how the European Financial Dictatorship (EFD) blackmailed Greece the summer of 2015, through Draghi's financial coup, and, that she does not expect anything from Tsipras administration. She also said that “What is now happening, is European institutions with no legitimation, turning against the people.”

...

Recall that Konstantopoulou joined Popular Unity, the party that came out of SYRIZA's split, expressing its most radical side, when Tsipras signed the third memorandum with the creditors.

The guy who wrote "Confessions of an Economic Hit Man" has just brought out a new version that talks about the move from screwing the populations of developing countries to the wall to screwing populations of developed countries to the wall. What goes around comes around.
