In Greece, more than 280,000 people have no access to food

There is an irrefutable fact that states better than most the total failure of the European project as it has been carried out so far by Germany and Brussels. A datum whose social and moral value is indisputable and which means that the presence of poverty is real and tangible, in the European Union, where it should not have citizenship rights and be only a bad memory for a long time. However the lack of resources that causes a lack of access to food is a reality created by the financial rigidity, which will ensured stability above all poor people. In fact over 280,000 people in Greece have requested, through a formal application, to get food aid to the Fund for European support of the needy. It means that these people have sunk into a state of necessity, unable to make the minimum necessary to feed in order to ensure its survival. The view of the requests for help is likely to be even larger, because the total number of applications only about 50,000, were presented individually, while the other by charities and non-governmental organizations which deal with the food problem in the greek village, playing a role as substitute institutions, often unable to intervene because the victims themselves of the cuts imposed on Athens. The high influx of applications for access to aid resulted in the extension of the deadline for requests, making a further analysis of the serious situation. To complete this scenario must be added the serious health crisis that crosses Greece, where they reappeared diseases long since disappeared, due to the impossibility of cure of different people, associated with severe cuts imposed to medical care. These factors, plus many others that should be the basis of the European project, or at least be equally important for financial services. Injustice to hit the population, often innocent choices of governments should be recognized immediately by central Europe and be remedied soon. The action to redress the budget situation should not strike indiscriminately, but take into account the basic needs of citizens: health, nutrition and education; vice versa is likely to alter the social and political equilibrium of any country involved in such a situation, which now regards Greece, but that may potentially invest any other was the subject of attention of financial rigidity. The greek given the need for food aid to the population can only ask the question on the convenience of belonging to Europe and the euro, not only in terms of political and economic, but its practical, given similar situations did not occur with the national currencies. The will of the punitive Germany against Athens is justified only minimally and is not eligible if it involves such effects, bringing a country to a level of unacceptable poverty. These signals go beyond the danger of populism as evoked by the bureaucrats in Brussels, who also is a threat not just, why invest the minimum rights of citizenship which are survival and medical care. We are facing, that is, to a clear abuse of power imposed by a Member State which reserves the right to interrupt the sovereignty of another state, which has the immediate and direct impact on its citizens, even depriving them of the opportunity to feed. It is clear that this situation is unacceptable, as equally unacceptable is the fact that European states, apart from a few timid exceptions, suffer so sometimes passive and sometimes, instead, contributing to this trend too active totally disagree with the founding principles of 'European Union. Perhaps it is better to rethink the institution and also get to envisage a division between northern Europe and southern Europe, which would allow greater autonomy and eliminate these dangerous tendencies.
