There are many <br \/>lessons from Greece \u2013 but that is not one of them. The Greek people <br \/>are the victims of horrific austerity policies. They have experienced <br \/>a second \u2018bailout\u2019, which the Irish government currently presents to <br \/>us as a charity. The result has been the disastrous. <\/p>\n<p \/> \u201cThe Labour Party should be looking to Greece for a lesson for <br \/>themselves. Their sister party, PASOK, has been smashed electorally by <br \/>the people of Greece because of their implementation of the Troika <br \/>programme. The fate that awaits both Labour and Fine Gael is that <br \/>which has befallen PASOK and New Democracy. <\/p>\n<p \/> \u201cDespite all of the government\u2019s bluster, it is clear that the <br \/>Austerity Treaty is in real trouble across Europe. Francois Hollande <br \/>has said that the Treaty as is, will not be ratified. The Dutch <br \/>government seems unable to ratify it. Now the biggest party in the <br \/>Italian government, PDL, has called for the Treaty to be amended. <br \/>Across Europe, this Treaty is increasingly a sitting duck. The Irish <br \/>people should take the opportunity to strike it another decisive blow <br \/>on 31 May, sink this Treaty and join with the millions around Europe <br \/>demanding an end to austerity.\u201d<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Statement: Paul Murphy MEP (Socialist Party \/ United Left Alliance) \u00b7 Noonan has lessons from Greece all wrong \u00b7 Greece represents failure of austerity policies and disaster of second \u2018bailout\u2019 \u00b7 Treaty now in real danger across Europe \u2013 France, Netherlands, Italy \u2013 Irish can strike decisive blow \u201cMinister Noonan looks at the soup&hellip; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/2012\/via-paulmurphymep-treaty-now-in-real-danger-across-europe-france-netherlands-italy-irish-can-strike-decisive-blow\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">via @paulmurphyMEP Treaty now in real danger across Europe \u2013 France, Netherlands, Italy \u2013 Irish can strike decisive blow<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_s2mail":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2501","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2501"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2502,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2501\/revisions\/2502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2501"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2501"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briangreene.com\/bhg\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2501"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
