Are you nervous about speaking on stage how does this fit in with your normal life this is normal life. They should wish. For time philosophers to sit in the room and write for some of them tell me what you do sometimes they write books i dont say but they also do this also go through refugee bans and so if you think youre a new kind of some. I dont have time to think about myself. And was the 1st the world believe me a speaker im going to will focus people. There do we get in from this side were going to thank you so as you know we are going to listen and to have a conversation with you major intellectual. Way here. So please welcome them both on stage very hard thank you what they learnt from truly understand is that you have to be consistent maybe sometimes you have these temptation to feeling that youre not important that the powers are spiraling at the last and last thing going to occupy us fair that they are laughing when we are in a public space but hello we have 2000 people here tonight in 8 cities at the same time hundreds of thousands watching the lifestream and i think that they cannot just sit in their room and write books even if you want to write about the refugee crisis you cannot do it if you didnt speak to a refugee for instance or if you are writing about the crisis of europe or solutions for europe i think you can do it if you dont speak with the people and i think we dont have time only to sit in the room and write about would it be nice to work because this continent is collapsing thank you thank. You very. The financial pressure of 2008 starts at the in americas Housing Market but there were stay did your rope as it lurch from solvent that cries his to economic stagnation unemployment off 25 percent it some countries lets to social on wrist and the continent suffered the warse terrorist at takes he yours and that horse before over 1000000 refugees decided to walk to balcom rule to into your say often all this is this cuss as forces of nature beyond our control but theres a philosopher i look for the root cause what if they can only call ups refugees and terrorism are actually all caused by something more fundamental. 2 im going on a journey across europe in search of what for next the crazies tearing our continent apart. To saloniki norton greece if you just visited Central Square youd never guess this small charming city is at the epicenter of europes problems. In 2015 refugees fleeing war and poverty walked into europe should the nearby village of evil mean. Germany said they would accept syrians but after more than a 1000000 people came europe panicked and sealed the border trip and those who continue to come in for. Greece finally cleared the domine camp in may 2015 citing sanitation and safety. But thats not the whole story. Were heading towards a new refugee camp for the refugees from the many who are more and were going to meet most of their. Most a face from aleppo and reached into many just as the border was closed he spent 3 months there hoping and trying to cross before deltora this clear to camp and would you say are the conditions better here than in the domine like what were told what was better there and what is better here. Yeah actually. Here is very plausible this. Its what tech tool from the song from from. For the 10th years a big. Nobody knows how long were going to stay and we get information on. How long it takes for the. They said nobody else. To face taking us back to domine to explain why the camp was clear. And this is something i wasnt expecting. A Motorway Service station transformed by those refusing the government camps. The services allow them to stay but at the same time doing Good Business charging them for showers. Now is 100 persons change the player to still be full of dance and no no one now only me. Can you show us a bit how it looked like at the trucks. So refugees tense all this place here right this one event here. Full of dance. These tracks are the most important rule from greece seaports a crucial way for local companies and multinationals to get their goods into the heart of fuel. Theres a train coming. So when the tents were here at this place there were no trains coming but yeah because. There is not. To try many times to bring the train as. The refugees represented the problem. Free of and. There is a ministry. And you see there. The tribes with many. More on board our children we. Are blocking the trains deliberately you knew that if you were blocking the way. Europe and the greek state they will start to react. The greek Train Company ois he told us they couldnt move goods for 75. 00 days costing them 1000000. 00 he lost shipping. I think is the best metaphor for whats happening in europe today in the sense that people refugees who are fleeing from war and from war zones such as syria but also going to stand in iraq became a problem. Because were at the train track and they were blocking the train trip. So it became a problem for for the for peroration for also other countries not only greece because this way was blocked so on the one you can see is. Refugees dont have the right to move freely on the other hand goods can move freely as far and as much as they want. But greece is subject to forces beyond its control. The Global Financial crash reveals that greece has taken out a mountain of loans from european banks. At the urging of european leaders europes Financial Institutions gave greece the biggest loan in history. And most of that money flowed straight back to the mainly french and german banks who had encouraged them to borrow. But the loan conditions required extreme osteria to state spending cuts so severe that the economy shrunk by a quarter of unemployment reached 27 percent prompting a huge rises was. Another condition was passed privatisation of 3 s. Including the strategically important port of p. J. It is one of the most important ports in the mediterranean and recently digne government has sold 67 percent of the shares to a Chinese Company called costco. The ducks are quiet today the sell off has prompted a better with the unions they say the troika of the International Monetary fund the European Central bank and the European Commission are experimenting with a new kind of privatization. You would strike over the coming of the 20 days today and if they strike. Very going where going to trade unionists and me thinking since its an International Trade to us we think they very much interested thing the paper they say sure then that is news stream and these 2 ports go to sky here and you should since theyre private i say even the Port Authority or at least city its fish features on the part of your knowing all of this is that the envelope already there for a passPort Authority headquarters and it will be privatized the day after and this building weve been given to the costco. Because costco doesnt recognize unions the doctors feared they will go from being skilled employees with secure jobs to temporary workers with no rights. Can you explain of what is the difference between the working conditions if the part of paedos which is still old by the greek state and the parts which is already old they are using a complex system of suffering so there is no direct employment by costco. And precarious employment that means they work. 1215. 00 days a month so there is no stable job for them and there is no. Skin show for a trained professional trained show thats why there are frequent. Action and saying mr we know this may be also this more that we subcontracting expanded to other ports in europe the last 6 years. An experiment for a droid kind nor a liberal policies. What they are thinking here they try to export it in other countries in the European Union. What we have seen in court today was that the biggest historical achievements of the european project. Such as collective bargaining such trade Union Organizing minimal wages all of this is actually disintegrating. Many blame the Chinese Company cost but im meeting former greek finance minister. Punishing inside information about europes part in the deal. Seems this is not working. Yeah. Amongst the 1st things they did in the ministry they one day to was to embark upon a. Kind of silent negotiation with the chinese authorities and with the costco c. E. O. And we agreed to collective bargaining and were allowing trade unions to present workers for other port if they were given the rest of the port secondly they agreed on a spectacular Investment Program of anything between 25300000000. 00 euros within 18 months that would have been a fantastic injection of capital of activity of jobs in the part of the us and finally most importantly they would prepared the Chinese Government to contribute to contribute to purchase a bond a new bond that we would issue as a minister of finance up to 10000000000 so effectively that would help us return to the markets and create effective a signal to the rest of the world that this is back now i thought that there was a very good deal and guess what happened there was a telephone call from berlin to beijing saying keep of greece while you were negotiating with them and all deals were off because of course china is not going to jeopardize its relationship with the heart of europe. In order to seal a deal with us. Currently the greek government is selling 67 percent of the part of the nose and under your deal it was supposed to be 51. 00 right yes all those things that we had negotiated the dragon made sure that were not part of the deal just not want any european body from a country to be even be to begin to imagine that if they voted People Like Us in they would get a better deal even for one person. Although hugely important for greece is only a tiny part of the 35 year program of privatization across europe. Sectors like railways energy cost banking and airlines were all part of the 1. 00 trillion dollars of public assets privatized since 1008. 00. Because the United Kingdom under Margaret Thatcher that led the charge for privatisation in europe. David hall has been studying the impact of it for over 30 years privatisation supposedly reduces prizes improve service and so on what has your experience and your studies it doesnt reduce prices and it usually doesnt improve services and in many cases it services worse. Thats the basis on which prostrations always sold but immediately people have experience a product as almost the 1st thing that happens is that prices go up prices go up because the private companies are taken over or in the business of restructuring it to generate. Returns that the Public Company didnt get. Which might explain why its usually made it Popular Resistance but its almost always forced through when you tell us wont it be the referendum where clause promoting water privatization. The government tried to reintroduce that i left that Water Utilities in private. By the thing that most of the governments in europe but also in latin america and the states still stick to this kind of economic model protozoa actions are seen as an easy way of getting large amounts of money into government so you can use it either true or to reduce taxes and that self actually used it and thats how again the going governments do it and thats how for example countries like greece are being instructed to use it by the i. M. F. This is this is this is the core purpose of proposition a great concept system generate revenue to reduce the debt. And once something is in private hands it is at the risk of takeover by larger often foreign companies. I mean romania there recently protested against water and held privatization but nothing seems to get them as worked up as their forests. Being handed back to private owners theyve been heavily exploited by International Investment firms and european would processing companies. On the border to be transferred when hes one of the forest that has been decimated. Its be replaceable according to the lawyer representing forest owners who may now have the last intact through a forest landscape where the man has nothing to vent least for a start. Today are they are not protected. How far away is it actually one hour or depend on. Their old one hour and a half the legal clear cutting mainly happens in remote places high up in the mountains. Romania was a colony of the get real name and now. In forest country that you did with you again it would appear if youre for just. A relative poverty means cutting gangs can exploit forest that country cant afford to protect. You see well hes known for it oh yeah you see it. Here we can walk so this is it finally. From here we dont see it. Its bigger and its what we can see here is completely illegal. Usually you are not allowed to card to more than 300. 00 or forests. And how big is this approximately. 15200 pictures of forest and tired of guns and you we need it now they are still cutting it they cut to every day since when did this start and what is the scale of this clear cutting in romania the big one its beginning after 20022003. That was the moment when theres oil for kompany or ponder 1st factory in. The Austrian Company whole stench 543 are now romanias largest wood processor they dont cut the wood themselves but they are able to offer a relative fortune to those who will mostly this clear cut down by you know many empty parks the gang cool. These forests forged the documents and when they reached the revolver factory they had some documents to show them that into the respect any law. But at the factory some didnt even need forged documents. Their own mental Investigation Agency posed as a cutting gang willing to ignore the law something that didnt present a problem for michael a little bit concerns me use the rigidity devalued in that we have to reduce or be your piece not what we get it from from our side. You decide what you want to say and. We ask her for an interview but they declined so we turn to chance a green activist who has been sued by schmeichel. One of their employees a manager has admitted that if theyre on at full capacity theres no place for other processes on the m
