Now the money pipeline to Greece has been installed. On May, 19th, the command will be: “Money, March”.
However, there are very tough conditions and they are controlled rigorously at regular intervals of three months. If Greece fails to meet the target, there will be “most dire” consequences. That is what our minister of finances said.
But what are “most dire” consequences if there were really no alternatives? Because “there is no alternative” to saving Greece. That is also what our minister of finance, Schäuble, said.
Of course, this is nonsense. There are always alternatives. But how are our politicians supposed to know this?
Presumably, there was also “no alternative” to cooperating with Herrn Schreiber (who was sentenced to eight years in prison today).
Saying that there is no alternative to a certain action is the same as building a comparative form of practical constraint. May I propose “there is no alternative” as faux-pas phrase of the month?
