(50 posts)Can you prove that Germany or the EU as a whole knew about the settlement. Banks and governments work together all the time and Greece provided official stats that they also faked to the EU and these were part of Eurostat.
What Greece government wanted was this. Euro is a more stable currency and this would provide a more stable basis and lower interest rates for them than the Drachma. When the government did the deal with Goldman Sachs, they hoped that the Euro would provide more growth opportunities and that the Greek economy would grow so quickly that the debts would have been manageable. This didn't happen and this mess is here.
And one generally believes government statistics. Or do question all government stats as well. That is also why there is little trust for Greece. Perhaps you should also ask what you have against Germans?
