Latvia In Seismic Shifts by Evans-Pritchard: Latin Europe Meets Teutonia

Telegraph' s Ambrose Evans-Pritchard makes really seismic shifts in Europe. This may be quite true:
A great ring of EU states stretching from Eastern Europe down across Mare Nostrum to the Celtic fringe are either in a 1930s depression already or soon will be. Greece's social fabric is unravelling before the pain begins, which bodes ill.

Each is a victim of ill-judged economic policies foisted upon them by elites in thrall to Europe's monetary project – either in EMU or preparing to join – and each is trapped.
However, given the facts I know, this appears to me a phantasm, but I was not among rioters ... Neither "Ministry of Finance" was the prime target, nor the "blocks of ice" ... I was not there!

This week, Riga's cobbled streets became a war zone. Protesters armed with blocks of ice smashed up Latvia's finance ministry. Hundreds tried to force their way into the legislature, enraged by austerity cuts.

Given the knowledge of " leaked documents" I may be an outsider!

Read the original text, although true in some instances, but you will be impressed by the "epic notion" ...
