the EU politcians are not the only people who don't wanna have a constructive discussion on these issues. i remember, from years ago when the greek crisis was at its height and all over the media, that mr. Varoufakis gave an interview in my country's public tv channel (the country is Austria, the channel is ORF) and he was interrupted and almost shouted down. they refused to ask him questions about the substance of the economic issues at hand, but instead wanted to know why he had the audacity to step on the toes of more powerful politicians in the EU. the tenor was: how dare you, not: let's have an honest open discourse
some people want power only to abuse the less powerful
Many people consider the ends justify the means. That’s seriously dangerous because without transparency nobody knows where the systems is taking us.
Hello from Ireland. Thank you Yanis. Real democracy needs people like you.
The thing is, nobody is perfect but Giannis is at least a real democrat...The world we live in now is far from democracy and if we as people unit they wont be able to win..We the people build up countries not them at the end..Keep your traditions and culture safe my friend..love and respect, Greece
Real democracy needs people like us Brits 😊
🍀🍀👍👍
@@funnyeyes3530 Perfect name tag.. Nice..
@@question-question thanks 😁 what part you from
I can't possibly thank you enough for your service and #Euroleaks. In acknowledgement of my gratitude, a hopeful Italian.
Thanks a lot, Mr. Varoufakis. You are a decent, brave, intelligent advocate for Democracy.
Thank you from Italy Yanis and all Diem25
Stay safe Yanis .. I fear for your life. You're the real deal, God bless you. Make sure you watch it soon before UA-cam bans it
I wish I could be this eloquent in my native English at Yanis is in his learned language. I appreciate his influence on my politics and view of what's possible in the world.
Stop congratulating him. The content of what he says is fine. No argument about that - but his eloquence is questionable. Assange is another person who is fairly useless at speaking in public - he does what he does in silence. NOT in public. Some people can deliver, but neither of these men. The British MP who left the EU last month was twenty times better than any of those who remain. What was his name? Nigel - yes, that man spoke with authenticity. A good speaker can destroy a whole army of theorists.
Yanis. Please would you come to UK and join our new free speech organisation. It’s not about political right, left or centre. It’s about being allowed to think freely and say what you think.
I'm salivating. This is going to be spectacular.
Thank you Mr Yanis Varoufakis!
This is massive. Thank you Yanis and DiEM25, from Ireland. This is exactly what we need in the EU, if we want to actually live in a democracy.
Bravo! some fresh air and sunlight
I'm german and sorry for the work my goverment did and does. carpe diem!
Never confuse the goverment with the people!
Your government was pushed by the EU leaders..
@@Only-one-life-68 My goverment runs the EU.
Dominik Mittag
Your most likely correct..
My grandmother was German.
Our country the Uk had better growth last year and is expected to do better than Germany in 2020 also..
This forecast is by the EU themselves lol.
@@Domi_2204 As if there is one sovereign nation within the western world. Learn to handle the internet..
I’m subscribed and waiting for the first Euroleaks✌️✊🏼🌅
Thank you Yanis, you set an example to all world leaders! I am reading your book "Adults in the Room" and it is fascinating. I also enjoyed your book explaining economics to your daughter, and I try and pass that on to my granddaughter. I live in a small town in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and even our city government likes their "closed-door" meetings with no records kept. The same for our local hospital as it goes through bankruptcy, all in "closed-door" dealings. It is not surprising that our governments at the state and federal level are doing the same. I would love to be in the meetings the DNC have as they work to crush Bernie Sanders. I have a feeling that AIPAC has a hand in them, just like they did with Corbyn, so I guess that makes me anti-semitic, but I'll risk it to get at the truth. Thank you also for all you do to help free Assange! Manning has been ordered by the courts to be released, but I fear she has been abused nearly to death. I put nothing past these evil people to try and hide the truth. Keep up the good fight! The people of Greece are lucky to have you fighting for them! Sincerely, Ossie
Articulate and positive words!
Agree 100%, but TBH Bernie will capitulate to the DNC and back Biden soon. .. .Everyone knows those elections are rigged.
Thank you to you and Diem25 for your dedication and courage.
Thank you so much. The System must get transparent. Thats the condition for a change. I am with this movement. There is enough for all.
The system must be collapsed if it doesn't collapse on its own. The system must go, simple as that, arrogance and dictatorship deserve no second chances !!!
Yanis.. a spark of hope in darkness
Copy-pasting from below: However, I think 'why now?' is a fair question. I had a think about this: 'should they have waited until COVID-19 blows over, or release now?'. I think it makes sense to release now, here's one reason. COVID-19 is going to cause an economic shock on the level of the Great Recession of 2008 - these Eurogroup recordings released expose the corrupt and illogical way that the top tiers of EU administration handled that crisis, and if we are to have a chance at avoiding that again (through popular awareness and pressure), then the public needs this information.
Covid-19 will be used by our governments to hide many secrets and many frauds, unfortunately it will also kill many, mostly elderly people, who are a pension and medical burden on the state.
@TheAmunGroup They are whipping this virus thing up to hide something, there is no way they would drive the economy off a cliff to save a few grannies.
Eclectic said an economic shock like 2008... Wrong, this is going the way of the 1930's .
If they don't keep minutes what's the point of having meetings ? Absurd !
@Alex McAuliff Although I don't agree with everything Janis says, I still regard him one of the top intellectuals alive today. There are few who can brow beat this man ! Nobody has the wherewithal to counter his arguments therefore they silence him.
It makes sense if you want to speak freely "off the record" at the meeting - this also happens in parliament, parliamentary commissions and governmental meetings, where only a final document with decisions or conclusions is published in the end. If the minutes are made public, you never know whether someone from a tabloid, a lobby or a group of "concerned citizens" might want to use one your remarks as a tool for free publicity, free money generation by lawsuit or outrage pump. Of course secrecy is a double-edged sword.
@@SterileNeutrino So it is NOT democratic, or rather a sequestered 'democracy'... Does it really matter who uses the platform as long as we the people can view the whole meeting ? Are these meetings not exactly to allow public scrutiny ? The chairman of the meeting has the power to curb meaningless 'free speaking' and if this power is abused, it will soon become obvious exactly because it's transparent.
So the chairman has to be a very wise person, not a bureaucrat/plutocrat of sorts.
@@SterileNeutrino "one of your remarks" ? Like one plus one equals two ?
Thanks for all your hard work Yanis. Been following most of your conversations and books and I believe in your efforts.
You are GOOD pal! Luck for the future. You are a real man of the people.
Those at the top are concerned with staying there and consolidating power at...the top. FED is example. Printing 500 BILLION "dollars" everyday to support the banking cartel.
That cash "infusion" isn't really a problem, if handled properly.
The thing that WILL cause problems, is that fat check they just cut for 700 billion, all while still refusing to act on protecting Americans that simply cannot afford to deal with the fallout of this crisis, while under the strain of this absolutely ludicrous system.
I'm starting to love this guy.
Greetings from Holland...great that you are on the job!
Ephcharisto👊🏼👍🏼🥂
Very Important message. Exact reason the UK left, people just don't get it
You left because of the xenophobia. Don't fool yourself.
@@bramsanjanssan4908 Some, definitely. Majority had just had enough
@@bramsanjanssan4908 Xenophobia and protecting your homeland is different, you fooled yourself. People like yourself see racists and nazis everywhere.
@@bramsanjanssan4908 I'm not British, but still have eyes. The EU is a joke
@@stevenobinator2229 That's not the point. Claiming leave voters did so, out of an understanding of the economical workings of the EU, is a bogus assertion. They did it out of fear of immigrants.
This man is so brilliant and razor-sharp that he timed this video to be exactly 9/11 minutes long. God bless him! We would all be lost without men like him. Greetings from a dane in Spain.
Excellent!
Yes! Too much secrecy in the EU and the governments in general. These things should be open!
likely tied to the Elite Cabal bankers, who run a racket in the world.
EU have been quiet about Corona and Turkey v Greek
This man and the organisation he founded supports freedom of the press, free speech. Thank you Yanis for sticking up for the general public. P.S Julian Assange is one of the greatest ever publishers/journalists.
Huge respect from Serbia, whole Europe must hear this !!
Honor Appreciate ur integrity & transparency leadership .. & Love U 🙏😎🍃♥️🇬🇷 💫True Son of Democracy
Thank you Yanis!
Love Europe and its people but hate loath and detest the EU and all it stands for.
Thank you Giannis from Greece itself, and please be careful because I guess many wouldnt be happy about this......In Europe people are awekening and starting to realize whats going on, so from wherever you are keep safe and keep your traditions and cultures and dont cripple your people as they are the ones building up your society..
Thanks for helping bring transparency to public service.
Muchas gracias Señor Varoufakis for your honesty and belief this world we live in, still has hope. Saludos desde Colombia
💖 YOU ARE A HERO 💖☝️😃 Can't wait for these audio's ❣
Thank you so much Yanis and Diem25... We will back you up from Portugal! Pretty sure if every single citizen in Europe knew this we would probably had an invasion in Brussels (hopefully peaceful) no one would live until they change things...
You are our hero Yanis.
Thank you for doing what your heart tells you,and what is good and right for our welfare.
From 🇬🇧
Grazie Yanis, dall'Italia
Oh at last !! TRANSPARANCY ,so glad you have the spirit ,skills and heart to act on behalf of Us the people..Very moving.Thank you
One of the good guys
Thank you for your work, these are extremely valuable documents for us citizens and for those in Europe who want a functional, efficient and democratic EU! I think this is coming at a tactically bad moment during the pandemic, but I'm sure it will be heard eventually.
This makes the case for Brexit even more solid!
Well done for bringing this to attention.
Why haven't I heard this on the Mass media? Unless they did and I missed it.
Thanks Yanis, from Italy. (Yes, we know who could be next after Greece, us the Italins)
Thank you Yianni for your great social contribution and your sensibility to launch euroleaks at a perfect timing. Truth is our right and is time to have 2020vision in all of our affairs as citizens of the world. #freejulianassange
Mr Varoufakis always came across as a decent honest politician to me and I,am glad he is finally putting the proof out there for all to hear
Part of why UK voted Brexit.
Hello from Denmark. Credit to Yanis for trying to bring transparency to the EU.
A brilliant man , need alot more like him .
Virtue and honor are a rarity in this new world. Be sure that it is preserved and singular in your focus.
Ευχαριστούμε πόλη Κύριε Βαρουφακης! It was the EU’s treatment of Greece that forced me to vote for Brexit - I know you don’t agree but we saw they were corrupt and would not change, and had to walk away. I commend this release of the truth, and will watch with interest. Good luck for the future. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
So you know , that Greece had 12 bankrupcy in history and first was iin aciant Greece ;)
Great work, thank you !
He actually did it, the absolute madman!
Stay safe, Yannis. The powers that be will only accept so much disobedience.
Solidarity from your friends in the U.S.
Secrecy is the tool of the morally corrupt, the bully, the criminal. Thanks for releasing the audio.
This is huge
Bravo.
Thank you 🙏
γεια σου ρε μαγκα, ευχαριστώ για όλα όσα κάνεις! 👏
Thank you Yanis, shocking but essential to know
BRAVO YANIS!!!
Thank you💛
Keep your chin up, Yanis! They think we're weak, but they'll find out differently if we keep our cool - as you always do - while their world of artificiality and deceit collapses around them. We just have to hold our ground and keep going!🙏
Great gesture, much needed: courage
Yanis Varoufakis is a towering shining light for true democracy. I have the utmost respect for him.
The EU is the 4th Reich by commercial non-military means.
We saw what the EU did to Greece. Now we are seeing what the EU wanted to do to the UK during Brexit.
The EU is sinister, corrupt, UNdemocratic, power-crazed. It will ultimately fail. Hopefully sooner than later.
I watched this from the U.S. over the years and I've always had one question for the pro-Euro types who are now disenchanted, namely: what did you think was going to happen? A democratic, transparent, orderly, efficient political body from UNACCOUNTABLE bureaucrats? That idea defies all logic and experience. It's like sticking your arm into the lion's cage and being shocked when it gets torn off. Sensible people understood the danger from day one, and warned about it. You can "google it" as the kids say. Now you've got a mess of an oligarchical superstructure insinuating itself into thousands of nooks and crannies where they assured you they wouldn't. Let me spell this out for you: you were deceived. That was the plan all along. Wake up.
Nailed it.
Of course. They want to be like the US. It's for the citizens to make sure it doesn't.
I also think people look at this kind of pragmatic. The madmen who gave us the wars in Iraq, Libya, Syria, etc. don't operate within the EU. EU transparency won't stop the corrupt and deformed. This is not an argument against transparency, but rather that there are things that are a thousand billion times worse and more pressing. Like war criminals Bush and Blair slaughtering thousands of women and children and still are unaccountable.
I was so surprised when you all agreed on their terms which was opposite of your election campaigns and once you resigned afterwards, I immediately understood that something fishy is going on there.
You have spine! Bravo! World needs political figures as you are.
Yassou!
Portugal, Spain, Italy and Greece. We need to stick together, we need PATRIOTIC leaders. Our peoples share much in common. The EU is a union AGAINST US.
Much love, Greek brothers. From Catalunya, Spain.
except when it give those countries money, then it's not against you, eh?
what money? Greeks bled, starved and committeed suicide because of the crisis. the money that got into the german and french banks? the money that germany still owes us from ww2? the 50% cut from germany's debt that was pardoned by the european countries and we also, the greeks agreed to this cut? the immigration policy that merkel wanted which flooded our islands and further doomed our economy and safety? the greeks were the scapegoats in order for germany to show how she can punish us and ''help'' us in front of the world while stabbing us in the back with the extreme austerity measures that caused us so much suffering.
Apparently, it's against the vast majority of the citizens of the 'North' too.
Well done stand up for rights of vulnerable
Yanis Thank You, keep it up!
Great idea!
Thank you
Thank you. You have my full support.
bravo Yani! hrthe h wra
Brilliant and the echo of Wikileaks is not lost, either!
Thank you! o7
Thanks for standing up for democracy.
Thanks for standing up for transparency and honest government. EU politics shows totalitarian signs.
Big balls, much respect.
Thank you from The Netherlands! Let's break the EU
I am French and I support your initiative. Transparency in collective decision making is not the best but the *only* way to achieve democracy in our representative system.
one big problem is also strasbourg shitshow
Yanis, I love what you are doing. Bravo!!!I love your courage! Thank you!! Are you sure this site won't be taken down???
U DA TRUE HERO !
hero
I respect you. Hello from Turkey. Keep support for Jullian Assange. A true hero
WELL DONE, YANIS! EXPOSE THEM! We all belong to the European family. We will stick together. But not with an authoritative, terrorizing EU! I twittered your vid in our three languages. They need to know. Greets and thanks from Switzerland.
Yanis, they are just dictators who what total control. However they could not control the fact that you were far too smart for them. I love your videos and find what you say extremely ‘eye opening’. Thank you.
I watched the movie "Adults in the room". I completely support Yanis after watching that.
what a hero! true Spartan 💪
I don’t always agree with Yanis politically but by God I respect that man. A true democrat. I wish there were more in politics like him.
The best I've heard i a while . The hole deal was fishy to me and I had my doubts who's benefiting . Europe have so many talenet politicians , engineers ,scientists . why don't run they run the show . That was an excellent video . TRhx
Thank you Yanis. This is a brave act
Thank you for your service to the European people Yannis.
Kalos k'agathos. Respect from Switzerland.
Great video from a man of honour who loves his country, well done Yanis.
Rock & Roll Yanis
Wow! Good move, Yanis. Take care.
thank you yanis! let's ask for public minutes but most of all, do not vote anymore such voltures!?! I do not understand how Germans have not asked for their resignation yet! Shamless voltures!
