At the moment I am traveling for a few months, so posts will be few, as following politics or putting my head into it is hard when you're at the beach.

But I am following the Greek situation, just waiting for the anti-austerity parties to form a coalition and give the finger to the European creditors!

Sarkozy Gets Sacked

Well it's official, Sarkozy is out! The first socialist president in seventeen years, Hollande wins it with 51.7% of the vote. This is sure to shake up the Eurozone debt problem, since Hollande is not pro-austerity. Already announced, his first meeting is with Angela Merkel, where I'm sure the Fuhress will be lecturing him on the need to weaken Southern Europe's sovereignty in the name of "economic stability".

And it's also important to note the voter turnout for this election: an estimated 80%! That's democracy at work!

I'm waiting to hear the results of the Greek Parliamentary Elections, which are looking to shake things up even more.
