EL 23 de JUNIO el Parlamento Europeo aprobó el nombramiento de MARIO DRAGHI como presidente del BANCO CENTRAL EUROPEO desde el 1 de noviembre de 2011 hasta el 31 de octubre de 2019. Mario Draghi fue el vicepresidente de GOLDMAN SACHS, la entidad bancaria acusada de fraude por las hipotecas subprime, y una de las causantes de la crisis financiera.

Respuesta de un eurodiputado de Gran Bretaña a una de las carta envíadas y traducida por la autora de la carte de protesta.
Querida Marta
Gracias por escribir a Nigel Farage sobre el nombramiento de Mario Draghi, ex directivo de Goldman Sachs, como presidente del “Banco Central Europeo”.
Tus observaciones son muy bienvenidas porque implican el reconocimiento de la “puerta giratoria”, la que existe entre las grandes corporaciones y entidades políticas, y que está destruyendo la democracia en todo el mundo.
En ninguna parte es tan evidente como en la “Unión Europea”, donde la democracia ha sido prácticamente abolida por una administración central autocrática y la complicidad de sus gobiernos miembros, y donde la “puerta giratoria” opera constantemente entre el sector político y el comercial.
En realidad es posible decir que los que gobiernan realmente la UE son las corporaciones más grandes del mundo, junto al Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) de Nueva York y sus organizaciones aliadas en todo el mundo. Sólo se puede acabar con el dominio completo que el CFR y sus alidados poseen en materia de política mundial devolviendo el poder soberano y nacional al electorado.
Con respecto a la conformidad del llamado “parlamento” europeo con el nombramiento del señor Draghi, he de decir que la razón de ser del “Parlamento Europeo” es dar la impresión falsa de responsabilidad democrática, cuando en realidad la toma de decisiones en la UE es llevada a cabo en secreto y de manera autocrática. De este modo, el “Parlamento Europeo” sirve como uno de los principales departamentos de quejas y de propaganda de la UE.
¡De ahí la farsa de elelegir 27 delegaciones nacionales – como si aglomerándolas en una sola cámara fuera equivalente a la elección de esa cámara!
Naturalmente no puede ser así porque cada delegación nacional es elegida según diferentes criterios e informaciones. Por esta razón, estos criterios e informaciones son particularmente susceptibles de influencias indebidas por parte de agencias, gobiernos y organizaciones de la UE, los medios de comunicación parciales a la UE, todos ellos respaldados por corporaciones globales y sus organizaciones a las que he referido anteriormente.
Este “parlamento” es la encarnación de la idea falsa según la cual una democracia políglota puede existir, y demuestra que la verdadera lógica de la UE no es “Unidad en la Diversidad” (el lema elegido), sino “divide y vencerás” (el viejo método imperial).
De todos modos, el “parlamento” no es más que un asamblea consultiva ya que solamente puede actuar, y sólo de cierta manera, con proposiciones legislativas procedentes de la Comisión Europea, y aprobadas por la misma (vea Art. 294(9) TFEU).
La Comisión Europea no es elegida en absoluto, sino formada por los candidatos nominados por los gobiernos de la UE, a los que, naturalmente, el “parlamento” asiente con la cabeza.
El nombramiento del señor Draghi ha sido aceptado, exactamente de la misma manera, por los fanáticos y ambiciosos que llenan el “parlamento”, y quienes son el producto de las elecciones indebidamente influenciadas y fraudulentas que he mencionado anteriormente.
Sinceramente,
Andrew S. Reed

ResponderEliminarDear ...
ResponderEliminarMr Klute and our parliamentary group GUE/NGL do share your concern and voted against the European Parliament opinion approving his appointment. He also questioned Mr Draghi with his "professional past" during the parliamentary hearing (as has also done French Green MEP Pascal Canfin and some other MEPs).
For your information I am also attaching you below a commentary in English that Mr Klute has published recently on Mr Draghi's appointment.

ResponderEliminarFormer Goldman Sachs employee Mario Draghi cannot bring sufficient credibility to the European Central Bank. The EU Parliament should thus reject his candidacy, writes German MEP Jürgen Klute.
Very soon, Italian banker Mario Draghi will take over as president of the European Central Bank.
While key heads of government have agreed on the candidate - as usual behind closed doors - the current Italian Central Bank chief was invited to an open hearing in European Parliament on June, 14th. Though Parliament does not have the legal right to veto his nomination, a negative opinion would of course severely damage his reputation.
By June, 23rd, a vast majority of MEPs will have made two important and contradictory decisions. Parliament will adopt a reform of the Stability and Growth Pact that will ensure that Member States that do not comply with EU goals for public debt reduction or structural reforms will face fines of around 0.1 % of GDP. Member States delivering misleading fiscal data will also be hit with heavy fines.
Meanwhile, MEPs will green light the appointment of Mario Draghi who previously served as vice-chair of Goldman Sachs International – the very bank that helped the Greek government falsify its statistics and accumulate unsustainable risk and debt.
In order to join the euro in 2001, the previous Greek government accepted highly complex and opaque deals with Goldman Sachs to mask new borrowing and seemingly reduce the debt/GDP ratio from 107% in 2001, to 104.9% in 2002. According to market sources, Greece was charged around $300 million for the deal, and had to commit to heavy long-term payment obligations that are still contributing to current default concerns in the country. Still, as NYT reporters Louise Story and Nelson Schwartz reveal, Goldman Sachs continued to offer similar derivates based on such deals up to November 2009.
Confronted with questions about the affair raised by my French colleague Pascal Canfin as well as by myself, Mario Draghi explained that his service as vice-chair and managing director of Goldman Sachs International only began in 2002 – after the famous 2001 transaction had been concluded. Asked about how he intended to explain to Greek and other European citizens why they are exclusively charged for a crisis that is caused by a conglomerate of actors as well as by a lack of regulation and governance mechanisms at the level of financial markets and economic coordination, Draghi did not show any particular personal or political concern.
For an institution that is, on the one hand, highly independent in monetary affairs, but which, on the other hand, assumes a highly political role in countries that have to rely on European and IMF liquidity, Mario Draghi cannot bring sufficient credibility. As he sadly revealed during the hearing, he is neither likely to come up with any helpful vision that could dig the euro out of its fundamental crisis. Reacting to MEP questions, Draghi was happiest when he had the opportunity to refer to established ECB rules and positions. Regarding his sense of democratic accountability, he did not seem overly concerned by the idea that the European Parliament's green light was still outstanding and that he might be affected by a negative judgement.
It is ever more evident that crucial institutions like the ECB, but also the International Monetary Fund and the Financial Stability Board deserve better. If citizens' trust in our democracies is to be restored, financial institutions cannot remain in the age of feudalism with the same three or four heads of government taking decisions for the rest.

Dear
ResponderEliminarThank you for writing to Nigel Farage about the appointment of Mario Draghi, a former Chairman of Goldman Sachs, to the presidency of the "European Central Bank".
Your remarks are very welcome, because they imply recognition of the "revolving-door", which exists between great corporations and political entities, and which is destroying democracy all around the world.
This is nowhere more apparent than in the "European Union", where democracy has already been virtually abolished by an autocratic central administration and the collusion of its member-governments, and where the "revolving-door" operates constantly between the political and commercial sectors.
It is possible to say, indeed, that the real rulers of the EU are the world's greatest corporations, as combined in the "Council on Foreign Relations" (CFR) of New York, and its allied organisations around the world. Only the return of powers to sovereign, national electorates can break the stranglehold the CFR, and its allies, now have on global policy.
Regarding the acquiescence, in Mr Draghi's appointment, of the EU's so-called "parliament", I have to say that the purpose of the existence of the "European Parliament" is to give a false impression of democratic accountability, to the EU's secretive and autocratic decision-making process, and, thereby, to act as one of the EU's principal complaints-departments and propaganda-agencies.
Hence the charade of electing 27 national delegations - as though agglomerating them in a single chamber were tantamount to electing that chamber!
It cannot be so, of course, because each national delegation is elected according to different criteria and different information, which criteria and information are, for this reason, peculiarly susceptible to undue influence from EU-agencies, EU-governments, EU-funded organisations and EU-biased media, backed up by the global corporations, and their organisations, which I have referred to.
This "parliament" is the embodiment of the falsehood that polyglot democracy can exist and demonstrates that the true rationale of the EU is not "Unity in Diversity" (its chosen motto) but "divide and rule" (the time-honoured, imperial method)
The "parliament" is anyway no more than a consultative assembly, because it can act only on legislative proposals from the EU-Commission, and only in ways, which the EU-Commission approves (see Art. 294(9) TFEU)
The EU-Commission is not elected at all, but formed of the nominees of EU-governments, who are nodded through, as a matter of course, by the "parliament".
Mr Draghi's appointment has been nodded through, in exactly the same way, by the EU-careerists and -fanatics, who pack the "parliament", and who are the product of the fraudulent and unduly-influenced elections, which I have mentioned.
Yours sincerely

Estimada Sra. Flores:
ResponderEliminarCon independencia de los argumentos que usted expresa, quiero que sepa que aun cuando la votación fue secreta, mi voto fue negativo, por tanto le aseguro que el Sr. Draghi no ha salido elegido con mi voto.
Un saludo

Madam, Sir,
ResponderEliminarI received your message concerning the nomination of Mr Draghi as new president of the European Central Bank, and I would like to explain hereby my position on this topic.
First of all, a word about the context. In accordance with the Treaty of the European Union (article 238), the European Council (representing the head of States of the 27 countries, members of the European Union) recommended the nomination of Mr Draghi as new president of the European Central Bank. Still following the same rules (article 283), the European Parliament has only a non-binding power of consultation regarding this nomination. It goes without saying that the power of the European Parliament is in this situation very limited. If the rules in place were giving us the possibility, we, as European Greens, would certainly have proposed other candidates, representing a wider diversity of opinions than the current mainstream ideology.
However, during the consultation process, Mr Draghi made a good impression to the parliamentary committee of Economic and Monetary affairs, of which I am a member. He gave the image of a pragmatic person who knew his dossiers inside out and who was in favour of more financial and banking regulation. Nevertheless, we have been, with my green colleagues, disappointed by his ideas on the measures required for solving the euro area crisis. Finally, despite numerous questions and critics in that direction, Mr Draghi said that he had nothing to do with the currency swaps arranged by Goldman Sachs - in which he had a senior position at the time - to help Greece hide the extent of its budget deficit. These two last elements greatly undermined the positive impression he made at the beginning.
Given this contrasted performance, we have decided to abstain during this vote. This choice of abstaining rather than voting against can be explained by our will to adopt a positive and cooperative attitude, even though Mr Draghi was certainly not our first choice. We think it is better to try and change things from the inside, engaging in the debates, rather than criticising from outside, rejecting everything, which wouldn't contribute to a fruitful democratic exchange. In any case, a negative vote from our side wouldn't have reversed the centre-right majority who supported Mr Draghi's appointment.
I hope that this explanation sheds a bit of light on the situation and our position. I remain available should you need any further information.
Kind regards,
