a decision particularly about our. own keys that are dead. or fashion a place you. there's a. still decision. if you know the city. and what's a privatisation officially it's not the commission's policia state however it's true if you don't look at the troika us and if you look at the memorandum of understanding between for example the troika and portugal the commission spot of the troika is asking too for the private size across the book to go so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really a human right if you really are serious to the citizens at today's initiative we should start acting on policies instead of celebration.

thank. senior but if you wish was sitting. mostly with. your. sympathies. push as you go fundamental me. but i compose. each could have. told us but if jesus was. concerned about the pressure being put on southern countries european water movement activists ropes to read. the highlights of the european commission as part

of the troika to force southern european countries mainly greece and portugal to privatized was that. they say that is unacceptable and must stop. a few months later the commission's reply leaves everyone speechless. the commission believes that the privatization of public utilities including water supply firms. can deliver benefits to society when carefully made. to death. in bunches was as they considered duffin to cosign. such nice besson i consume of accepted although see best you can put out if it was something i want. to do i could do so much and also did some enormous economic

every nothing yeah if it's out of the depths of a thought if i think that id goes a little botany see me but i should have to do all the. open and not by day. sure. to discuss your bridge you know that. it will explain minimum opinion to center six pm device you can you could feel secretly got lucky. the less i did. not look at dog ac yourself these dual results must always come and a very serious one. when the troika came to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. but there was no water utility. the water was sprayed in twenty seven

local authorities so they were told or government by the troika to build. the i was government. a company called irish water. which began installing meters. aside to people's homes. on the first protests took place. isn't scads of the city of clock glory a woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. the children that are from into this tears were didn't want the water meters and that was asked. what he and i were to there was a mass of supportive people here to stop that. and this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since a steady had begun says the troika ride to toes in the night. i told her.

i thought i thought it was my. god i think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camel's back. i don't know if a sudden mood in the street together. and people were joining the docks and you know what had the water meters got to do with the fact that you can't see a doctor should go to a hospital what have the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. you know this is sewer phone a little bit of power you can cool and fun to try but you can stand outside your folks and there's your polar and and it might be true years and we're still not finished. but people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and they're never going to get into.

this. and we knew that this is big something different it's not it's about water forced to foremost but it's also about much more than war it's about to hurt to be trailed the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west up words on their debt downwards. there is a problem with the leaks and we couldn't find them until we have brought in some measures so if i see my solution subtly it says it's a million liters a month for a couple of people in my house i call that temp control so that's the reason for the missiles. and islands there were no meters because they had a completely different system of water charges. the irish paid through general

taxation. over one billion euro was intended for the maintenance and operation of the water system. some people think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o.e.c.d. . it has zero war poverty and we're the only one with zero water poverty because we're the only one that pays for a trip to the us a general taxation that's the one thing we've got right and we'll keep it and the rest you should look at for follow us listen to us because the dumb irish got this one right. we really need to modernize our russia structure so now we really have to invest. so we need a structure to invest we need to wait borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out of general taxation people who work would probably

end up paying more taxes. we are losing forty seven percent of our trees and walk into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. no billion new up to spent do i choose to spend it on reduce or do i choose to spend not billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new water structure. despite the water having been paid through general taxation. no tax exemptions were plans to offset the new charges. and forcing more than me against evil as worse as. the threat of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as and challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water as the first step towards privatisation.

mr ferguson down with the minister tusk by the government with setting up the new company. clearly didn't work out quite as we expected. it was never on the agenda from my perspective that it could would or should ever be sold or privatized when i was discussing this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one to lead to say she was handed to me before i went into the parliament it wasn't then it. starts really. central it's office and i have it says of course we all know privatisation is ultimately envisaged. and then there was a letter from disinterested just example saying you're stuck you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. so then the report came back four

years out towards the. the confidence in the field system is collapsing and there is no turning back this is the collapse of the nation state and the central bank and the fractional reserve money system big coing is to banks what the printing press was to the catholic church it collapsed it in many ways this is the end of this era this is the new

beginning this is about everyone having autonomy and sovereignty with their own money. and. you know the palestinians have used the united nations as a weapon of war against the future of peace both for palestinians and israelis the united nations general assembly has passed more resolutions against the democratic state of israel that it has against north korea and iran and syria combined so that you know it is a bubbling cauldron of hatred and anti democracy. the decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day. following the examples of berlin and italy the people of thessaloniki will be called upon to

say through a non-binding referendum whether they want the water company to be privatized as planned by the government. suddenly however on the eve of the ballot there's a problem. with. the idea. they see fit. and we see it not at least they not quote the m.c.a. do this and they be quiet make a little bit of this. interior minister younis make a lockett's in a circular sent out to all municipalities declared the referendum illegal and then it got to topeka mechanical not what i've seen in the christmas numbers a lot and i think i was asleep but i don't see it as moscow going to get my police feeding them too close physical is going to but it was enough that it was.

late. but apples at the civic at these gimmicky none of the house and estate is supposed to fit the defense's position as a couple they did. this to close the e.p.t. c.s. even if despite a man who proceeded to call b.c. to put them all in also all of them the money in place to build up some of the bought a lot of. french president emanuel micron's on an official trip to absence. is accompanied by forty french businessmen each with an interest in the greek privatization

program idea. today they'll have the opportunity to directly question prime minister alexis to press a lot among them as shown louise shows up the sewage c.e.o. is company has its eye on greece's water companies. many part of of hell. allowed for us because we got on the back of my because. i've been this is. a bit more you know i'm. going to. go you know. if you did. it was i must. be used. if. you would send. me.

you know. if you. are going to. the country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the super fund. the new anonymous company with a life expectancy of ninety nine years this management board will also consist of representatives of lend us. the water companies are among those assets but the government still promises they will not be privatized. they need to go to the go these then up the key it. may go straight to bed the same as they say it will be c yes i don't like and go to some extent but only get upset at the park yet if i see . the state i only see that i did the best this season if the internet is a piece that. crosses from

a loss who took part in the thessaloniki water movement became the alternative minister for the environment and was put in charge of water management following the state's council's decision he's trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. of the if it was in the midst of the most. used to going to the loo and. if this bill doesn't it will get the dependency of the government with most of it was just over what i mean this is it's that we're going to produce what it was as it is without ickes the bit that it's at. in twenty fifteen joy alphen and as became minister of the environment and a portugal's newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections

was a policy change soon enough to. follow this lead as will deal with a system of the vs a pulse the believe it's a set up if they meet the fat yet it will slow team is the end this receive us could they call sawyer at the vastness. of the bash. that was good in no play they say the defeat it was not received boustany betis is that if you will see the events. unfortunately the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugal's constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden to intervene. to improve well those who vote on d.s. bossiest c.d.o. but if it is out it will lead us into. the will veto month of us all to the real cull he so she had already yards which the if the divorce do you men lose. the key is to kick you boil it is for us as well etc.

marcellus and passes to fight anna have to get by on their own. mr gomes knows he has no choice he's bound to pay a huge amount of compensation the water in portugal did not look good to me as well look mr peter. says. oh and. activists against water charges often patrol this cork neighborhood. if they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave

. oh we say no why do you need me know everybody knows that nothing is set in stone yet. the commission keeps pushing islands to comply with the community directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. and there is this principle which is. framed in the water directive that the polluters should fit so there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. we'll do that. yet we don't act and we. faced with unprecedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. what we're trying to do you know in a small way they would say has to happen because the european union told us it has

to happen because detroit it was that sort of us but again tom logical its head very very quickly because when the european commission after the different opinion something. for example that apple collaboration all the citizens of this country talked to bill talked in billion euro. suddenly the ideology walks in the past and suddenly the neo liberal saying that the european commission it's only an opinion will power of europe but it doesn't it doesn't take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can the unit be in commission take away our ability to make our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in relation to give an apple a thirteen billion year old gift. well all you have to do is look at puppets to explain those contradictions.

i. see. all of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each of. us missing blasi whole movement to defend. good people basically knew the name nice the same. just and then when they're trying to lie wes and i me until they've been out of the government and then we kind of can see and i wouldn't have a dogmatic approach to. was. going to

come into shores to do are so many players on a company that do so. shite when decent people qatif. cross europe people are saying you know. enough is enough. can we have our social europe back. yes. whatever this song all these. are you. know why. who told you the. truth.

different stories of folks from. this left. about it under the rhythm i did but not quite i mean no i mean my. upon him and if one came it up about let's listen to still like to know me a little more to be still flat. i should say not a single get. that done please. write back and then give

me a guess you'll know soon from the forum on sunday that the money love to look at it that something is in the. terminal this will go down the aisle of once a bit become a hot item study but. not commitment and now would condemn us coming down in the police news for the moment some harmless listener count somehow moments from some solar system a galaxy. to. come in the night while doing that hubble one of the from the one that hit.

the headlines terror nazi. independence parties look set to keep their absolute majority in the council and parliament a result that would likely lead to renewed political conflict with the spanish government. the u.s. suffers a stinging rebuke over its recognition of jerusalem as israel's capital as the un general assembly voted overwhelmingly to condemn the move. the use of the veto obstructed the security council and shameful that you even think the blatant violation of the rights of promise to america will put our embassy in jerusalem

this is bullying and will not. in the vote over one hundred countries ignore the intense pressure from washington and threats from the u.s. president and ambassador.
