Do sacrifices pay off? Public debt is growing Recession and unemployment There will be no return to the “markets” in 2013

Beyond common sense… We can´t and we should not pay part of this debt Growth and employment policies instead of austerity Alternative ways to finance the governments

“If we all leave, who is staying to pay the debt?”
