Initiative for the Formation of an Audit Committee of the public debt

Greece. Because of the statistical alchemy about public debt it is imperative: To open the books of the public debt and finance! Social control Now!

A big moral issue emerges for George Papandreou’s Government after the revelation of the professor in the University of Macedonia and member of the board of the Hellenic Statistical Authority(EL.STAT.), Zoi Georganta, that the government, EU and the IMF “cooked” the statistic evidence!

The revelations of Zoi Georganta, that caused already the intervention of the attorney general who asked for a preliminary examination, shows that the public fiscal deficit for 2009 was up to 15,4% after alchemies with the purpose to deliver the unpopular measures which have applied. Mr. Papandreou’s government (which as the deputy minister of Finance, Filippos Sachinidis has said decided from October 2009 to send as to the slaughterhouse of IMF and the EU) wanted to show that the politics of “mnimonio” (the loan memorandum between the Greek government and the troika) are necessary and imperative. That’s why resorted to these unacceptable methods which aimed to deceive the public. The force to resignation from the minister Evangelos Venizelos, 5 from 6 members of the board of the Statistical Authority (with the exemption of the head of the office who came from the IMF) reminds acts of totalitarian regimes.

The intervention of the European statistic agency, Eurostat, in the statistical fraud shows that the so called independence of the agency is a lie!

Therefore the request of the Initiative for the Formation of an Audit Committee to put a light on public debt and all the public finances is urgent, after the revelations that the government-IMF-EU are completely unreliable and dangerous to manage for the society’s benefit such serious cases as the public debt.
