Greece: Suspicions that the central bank undermines government!

A report by the efsyn newspaper revealing subversive leaks by the Governor of the Bank of Greece, Yannis Stournaras, to particular media, caused strong turbulences in the political and banking system. Specifically, the letter from the press office of Mr. Stournaras to a known journalist, entitled "The account of 100 days," attempts to present the image of an already bankrupt country before any discussion about a possible default.

For its part, the government underlined that if the report is correct it would be a blow against the independence of the Bank of Greece, and asked from the leadership of the Bank to deny the information. Government sources said that, otherwise, the Bank of Greece should initiate accountability procedures in order to stop some people inside the Bank to undermine the government in such a critical time for the country. Thereby, they opened the debate for removing Yannis Stournaras.

Give the Government and the people control over the money supply once again.

Private central banks are just legalized gangsters that benefit the 1% of the 1%.
