This measure is just another temporary political screw up that perpetuates the EU/Eurozone disaster.<br /><br />The politicians of Europe are lying to the people AGAIN and must be brought to account via the courts when this is over. Life sentences, sequestration of assets and public hangings apply to these incompetents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36227136.post-46199208609597843712013-03-15T18:09:50.486+00:002013-03-15T18:09:50.486+00:00The people of Europe deserve better from their &qu...The people of Europe deserve better from their "leaders".<br /><br />A monkey with a pin would have done a better job resolving this and would be far more trustworthy with it.<br /><br />Can we vote for a monkey?

Therefore it should be possible to include those bondholders in financing the Cyprus bailout.<br /><br />Depositors who hold more than the guaranteed amount are at this stage not only depositors. Anything over the guaranteed amount is to be seen for what it is: an investment. In addition: for foreign depositors, if it was only deposits why would they keep money over the guaranteed amount in a bank in a foreign nation? Investment reasons.Jespernoreply@blogger.com
