A man of the kill. By d. A. P. As greeces largest Water Company it provides five point five Million People with water. We know by the looks of the afro and. Its shaped up. So all hallows by norse anything thats then. Its i look at it as the mean above as he should make his helmet on a rebel fellowman accusation of us you know im almost in my system of i can see it will happen but they just tell minimise we think nicholas it became much got. To go into something i stop ok that is a strong unless the School System are simple enough but these tales are purity just on the last at least reste so the bulk of myself at least had it all to shape ballasted. Not bottom up after he. Said this is your particular keep our. Own keys that are dead. Or fashion a place you. Theres a. Collective democratic schill decision. If you know fifty. And whats a privatization officially its not the commissions policia state however its true if you look at the troika us and if you look at the memorandum of understanding between for example the troika and portugal the commission as part of the troika is asking to further privatized across the book to go so in the troika the commission is still pushing for privatization so if it is really a human right and if you really are serious to the citizens at todays initiative we should start acting on policies instead of celebration. It. Seemed able to do so now i wish was sitting. Mostly without. An interview or. Simply. Put in see if appropriate even. Push as you go was fundamental me. But i compose. Each could have. Told us but if it is a source you could if it were only. Concerned about the pressure being put on southern countries European Water Movement activists ropes to read. The highlights of the European Commission as part of the troika so to force southern European Countries mainly greece and portugal to privatized was that. They say that is unacceptable and must stop. A few months later the commissions reply leaves everyone speechless. The commission believes that the privatization of Public Utilities including water supply firms. Can deliver benefits to society when carefully made. To death. This once i was privy to it and bunches was as they counted a duffer to cosign. Such nice bets on i can still have accepted going to see best fit it was something i want. To do i could do so much and also did some Enormous Economic every nothing yeah if its out of the depths of a thought if i thought that juvenile id goes a little botany see me but i should have to be all no gosh but it could be so open and not by deed. You sure could get into disuse you want a bridge you know that. It will explain minimum opinion to center six pm device you can be good as a coffee or will secretly got lucky let me be the last whom i did. Not look at dog ac receive these dual results must always come and a very serious one. When the troika came to ireland they wanted to privatized the water utility. But there was no water utility. The water was sprayed in twenty seven local authorities so they were told or government by the troika to build. The i was government. A Company Called irish water. Which began installing meters. Side to peoples homes. The first protests took place. In scads of the city of clock glory a woman went out in the morning and said you are not putting up be the outside my house. I told him they were coming to this station with vision one of the water meters and that was us. Waiting an hour or two there was a massive support of people here to stop them. And this was the first time that the irish people had taken a stand on any issue since austerity had begun says the troika ride to toes in the not. Knowing. I think i thought it was my. I think for some people it probably was the straw that broke the camels back. I dont know if a sudden mood in the street together. And people who are joining the docks and you know what has the water meters got to do with the fact that you cant see a doctor should go to a hospital what have the water meters got to do with the banks coming in taking people so this. You know this is true or own a little bit of power you cant go and funk the cheika but you can stand outside your folks and theres your polar and it might be trade years and were still not finished. But people are still resisting this because it is the one thing that they have power and theyre never going to get it. Was there. And we knew that this is big Something Different its not its about water forced to foremost but its also about much more than war its about to hurt to be trailed the surrender of sovereignty and the redistribution of our west operatives and their debt downwards. There is a problem with the leaks and we couldnt find them until we have brought in some measures so if i see my solution suddenly it says its a million liters a month for a couple of days in my house i go that temperature so thats the reason for the missiles. And islands there were no meters because they had a completely different system of water charges. The irish paid through general taxation. Over one billion euro was intended for the maintenance and operation of the water system. Some people think those paper water through taxation is a little bit crazy we really only country in the o. E. C. D. It has zero war poverty and were the only one with the a lot of poverty because we only want to pay for a trip to the us a general taxation thats the one thing we got right and well keep it and the rest you should look at for follow us listen to us because the dumb irish got this one right. We really need to modernize our russia structure so now we really have to invest. So we need a structure to invest we need to wage borrowed money and then we need a way to pay for it paying out a general type stations people who work would probably end up paying more tax. We are losing forty seven percent of our trees and walk into the ground in leaks before it gets to the top. No billion new rock to spend do i choose to spend it on meters or do i choose to stand up billion euro in fixing the leaks and building a new water production. Despite the water having been paid through general taxation. No Tax Exemptions were plans to offset the new charges. Forcing one of the major. Abels worse is. The threat of paying for water twice led most citizens to regard the introduction of meat as an challenges as another austerity measure and the establishment of irish water as the First Step Towards privatization. Mr ferguson down with the minister tusk by the government with setting up the new company. Clearly didnt work out quite as we expected. It was never on the agenda from my perspective that it could would or should ever be sold or privatized when i was just cos in this matter with my officials at the time i insisted that the legislation would have to include three point one the legislation was handed to me before i went into the parliament it wasnt in it. Was real. Central office and i didnt say of course we all know privatisation is ultimately interest. And then there was a letter from disinterested just example saying your start you can say that would you please take these words out of the report. So then the report came back four years out towards. Running. Close to the best out of the children of. The concerts i was playing to perform i had to actually pass myself to die i. Dont know said hed well. Sorry trust me. As most of. You. In home spend time to be an amateur. This country was. And he had a good. Soul. What it was that he could would. Not yes get more deeply she. Had to finish in a couple hundred twenty b. S. Get. A job. Thats in American Interest to not see any russians die in terrorist attacks as it is in russian interest to prevent any terrorist attacks in the United States or elsewhere in the world so i dont think theres any dispute on that in congress and i think maybe some of the posturing is frankly political as opposed to substantive. When lawmakers manufacture consensus instant of public wealth. When the ruling classes to protect themselves. In the final merry go round lives only the one percent. Nor middle of the room signals. In the room mean real need for. A decision has already been made and everything is ready for the big day. Following the examples of berlin and italy the people of thessaloniki will be called upon to say through a nonbinding referendum whether they want the Water Company to be privatized as planned by the government. Suddenly however on the eve of the ballot theres a problem. There is that it is there for thirty years or. They save it if it be seen it not it is not quite the answer to this and they because of what make their lives. This. Interior minister younis make a lock is in a circular sent out to all municipalities declared the referendum illegal i think then it got to kind of it when not in the christmas numbers a lot of my pick up was asleep but you wont see it as much talk after going to make it a victim i believe you speak of course make a sort of physical medium but it is enough that it is. Also did a couple of those mike at that this if you tickle basis to say you have to stand on nicky butt out in opposite to somebody needs to pick it up chemically now the house i stayed is supposed to fit the defenses position as a couple they did. This to see if it is c. S. Even if the spider man proceeded to call b. C. To put them on all of them so all of them on your place to put up some with a lot of water. Thank french president emanuel microns on an official trip to absence thanks is accompanied by forty french businessmen each with an interest in the greek privatization program. Today theyll have the opportunity to directly question Prime Minister alexis to press. Among them as sean louise shows up the sewage c. E. O. Is company has its eye on greeces Water Companies. Many part of hell of. A lot from us you guys weve got book on the back of my because. Ive been this is us to go out there now look you know look at the broader obviously the more you know the left. The flat most focused on you know. If you could easily missed all of them. And i started to use. You know. What that. May. Not mean it will shock you but you will. Have to get into. The country is now obliged to transfer all state owned assets to the super fund. A new Anonymous Company with a Life Expectancy of ninety nine years whose Management Board will also consist of representatives of lend us. The Water Companies are among those assets but the government still promises they will not be privatized. They need to go pieces then up the pm. Show you may go straight to bed b. C. Must then say good b. C. B. S. That i dont like and go to some extent but only get upset at the park yet if i see both the state or county sees that that is going to become piece of a part of the season if the internet is the piece that. Crosses from a loss who took part in the thessaloniki Water Movement became the alternative minister for the environment and was put in charge of Water Management following the state councils decision hes trying to salvage at least fifty one percent. Of the if it was in the midst of the most oil it. Was just going to get you to give up with the going to get this built the sooner we get the stupid notes of the governments with. It misses the what i mean this is its that were going to produce but what i was is its what ickes the put that its. In twenty fifteen and as became minister. The environment under portugals newly formed left wing government after the twenty fifteen elections water policy changed soon after. All of this latest will deal a first term of the vs a pulse that if it is a set up if it meant that that yeah it will slow team is the in this the many c. P. U. s could they call so east at the vastness. Of the bass. That this kid nope it is a city feed it was an easy boost me bet is that we will see the vamps. Unfortunately the government has washed its hands of these cases according to portugals constitution municipalities are autonomous and the state is forbidden to intervene. To improve wells who vote on d. S. Bossiest cd you know but if it is our problem have us into the. Others that i can veto mundo us most of us all to the real cull if you so she had already the it to the divorce place for you minerals. The key is to kick you boil it if you know us as well etc. Marcellus and passes to farrah have to get by on their own. Mr gomes knows he has no choice he is bound to pay a huge amount of compensation one hundred seventy two Million Euros will go to the private Water Company because the bottomless municipality failed to reach the envisaged population and water consumption targets. The municipality also realized it had lost all technical know how regarding Water Management. Going to their. Yes youd be excused by poor board. So mr gomez decided to negotiate with the company will she be so maybe that started off all doesnt. Know by spark if the three of. Them shifts to two versions masowe home with vs one without is no. Good to. Visit when you lose even a no social life that youve. Encountered a week leaving you if they just say double again what a blackout. Passes to fella but the most expensive water in portugal did not appeal to the courts. On berto brito seeing barson as troubles realized that the game was lost and try to negotiate with the company. Could begin to. Look seems to me was what appeared to me as well look misleading lucas and cooper to you this if award for the newer of the past freighter at that he for that work bison wasnt going to see. Every of nowhere. Oh and. Activists against water charges often patrol this cork neighborhood. If they find an irish water crew installing meters they try to force them to leave. Oh and we say now why do you need me know Everybody Knows that nothing is set in stone yet. The commission keeps pushing iowans to comply with the Community Directive and impose meters and water charges on its citizens. And there is this principle which is. Framed in the water directive that the polluters should be sought there should be a direct responsibility of this cannot be done with a general exception obviously next friday we meet same time. And well do that right. On that dont we dont that dont we. Faced with unprecedented public disobedience the government is trying hard to maneuver between public discontent and the demands of brussels. What were trying to do you know in a small way they would say has to happen because the European Union told us it has to happen because detroit at all unless thats what it has become time logic on its head very very quickly. Because when the European Commission after is a different opinion something acts for example that apple corp order citizens of this country talk to be taught in billion euro suddenly the ideology walks in the next and suddenly the new liberal say the European Commission its only an opinion were parrot of europe but it doesnt it doesnt take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to how we tax how can the unit be in commission take away our ability to meet our own decisions in relation to water for an opinion of the very same body and the very same people alone has to be her own decisions in relation to given apple a thirteen billion year old gift. Well all you have to do is look at the puppets to explain those contradictions. I. See. All of these situations and all of the peoples of europe need to start having an honest conversation with each other. Was. Missing plays the whole movement to different. People basically made all the name nice but the same with a. System that when theyre trying a western i mean to get them out of the government go into them kind of i wouldnt have a dogmatic approach to. Was. Going to come into shores to do are so many players on a company that you sell. Beer shy with decent people qatif. Cross europe people are saying you know. Enough is enough. And we have our social europe back. Yes. He. Was never the song all these. Are you. Know why. Who voted no. To the. Different cities of faith soon. Just let.
