Money exists! The best proof of that is the Americans’ ability (and it is not only theirs) to locate it in Greece and to profit from it even in the most difficult moments!

The Greek government sends 500,000 euros to the “reconciliation register” for Afghanistan — a totally corrupt mechanism whose funds end up anywhere from the government of Karzai to going toward the construction of skyscrapers in Abu Dhabi, according to publications of the American press. It is no secret that the money was disbursed from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The pressure of the Americans to support the “reconciliation register” was great. When it did not take off, the Americans addressed the minister, as they usually do. Droutsas, the minister, gave in without hesitation.

Ενδιδοντας στους Αμερικανους

Λεφτά υπάρχουν!!! Καλύτερη απόδειξη γι’ αυτό είναι η ικανότητα των Αμερικανών (και όχι μόνο) να τα εντο πίζουν στην Ελλάδα και να τα συναποκομίζουν ακόμη και στις πιο αντίξοες στιγμές!
500.000 ευρώ στέλνει η ελληνική κυβέρνηση στο «Ταμείο Συμφιλίωσης» για το Αφγανιστάν - έναν παντελώς διεφθαρμένο μηχανι σμό, που οι πόροι του καταλήγουν από την κυβέρνηση Καρζάι στην κατασκευή ουρανοξυστών στο Άμπου Ντάμπι, σύμφωνα και με δημοσιεύματα του αμερικανικού Τύπου. Τα χρήματα εκταμιεύθηκαν από τον κωδικό του ΥΠΕΞ για τις συνδρομές της χώρας στους Διεθνείς Ορ γανισμούς, όχι από τα απόρρητα.
Οι πιέσεις των Αμε ρικανών να ενισχυθεί το «Ταμείο Συμφιλίωσης» ήταν πολλές σε υπηρεσιακό επίπεδο. Όταν δεν καρποφόρη σαν, απευθύνθηκαν στον υπουργό, όπως συνηθίζουν. Ο Δρούτσας ενέδωσε χωρίς δισταγμό.
