Comments on: The Eight Big Lies Mario Draghi told Spain’s Parliament https://revolting-europe.com/2013/02/22/the-eight-big-lies-mario-draghi-told-spains-parliament/ On Europe, the left, labour and social movements Sat, 30 Nov 2013 10:03:26 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.com/ By: James https://revolting-europe.com/2013/02/22/the-eight-big-lies-mario-draghi-told-spains-parliament/#comment-8686 Sun, 04 Aug 2013 12:15:09 +0000 https://revolting-europe.com/?p=6055#comment-8686 I agree with a large part of what you say. After all, the EU is nothing more than an unpleasant trade cartel and is often corrupt. (The auditors have refused to sign off the annual accounts for a number of years now – but no-one seems too worried.)

From a Spanish point of view, though, it has been terrific. Cohesion Funds, Structural Funds, CAP, payment to other countries for fishing rights that benefit only Spain. Etc. etc. etc.. Every time there is a disaster in Spain – floods, earthquake, fires – I wait to hear how much the EU pays. What made possible the huge mileage of new, often empty, motorways, the new airports, without planes, the high-speed trains, with no passengers?
