"The same financial markets that caused the world crisis to begin with, are now attempting to profit off the ruins that they created.
They shamelessly speculate on the sovereign debt of whole nations and thus keep hostage the livelihood of millions of European citizens. Basic fairness and common economic sense require that they too now pay to help finance Europe´s sustainable growth and job-creation initiatives."
