José Manuel Barroso u Goldman Sachs
Křivácká židovská banka Goldman Sachs, která má nedávnou velkou celosvětovou finanční krizi na svědomí, povolala uplynulé týdny do své špinavé služby bývalého předsedu evropské komise José Manuel Barroso.
Však v internetu je už měsíc k podepsání petice, kde dnes už 79.000 lidí protestuje, aby se tento šašek počmáraný podílel nyní na křivých kšeftech této nemorální banky.

Goldman Sachs hat den ehemaligen EU-Spitzenpolitiker José Manuel Barroso angeheuert. Eine Gruppe von EU-Bürgern will das nicht hinnehmen. Ihre Petition haben bislang fast 80.000 Menschen unterschrieben.
„Aus moralischer Sicht inakzeptabel“, mit diesen ungewöhnlich deutlichen Worten hatte Frankreichs Präsident Francois Hollande den Wechsel von José Manuel Barroso zur Investmentbank Goldman Sachs kritisiert. Er ist aber nicht der Einzige, der diesen Schritt verurteilt: Eine Gruppe von Angestellten der Europäischen Institutionen hat im Internet eine Petition gegen derartige „Drehtür“-Praktiken“ gestartet, die seit ihrem Start vor zwei Wochen mehr als 77.900 Unterstützer unterzeichnet haben.
Goldman Sachs sei eine derjenigen Banken, die am stärksten in die Hypothekenkrise verwickelt war, die zur Finanzkrise 2008 geführt habe, heißt es zur Begründung der Petition, die mit dem Satz beginnt: „Not in our name!“. Zudem habe das Institut zu der Entstehung der Griechenlandkrise beigetragen – von der sie darüber hinaus durch Spekulationsgeschäfte profitiert habe.
Es sei „ein verheerendes Symbol für die Union im ungünstigsten Moment und ein gefundenes Fressen für alle Euro-Skeptiker, dass ein ehemaliger Präsident der Kommission mit den unkontrollierten und unmoralischen Werten von Goldman Sachs in Verbindung gebracht wird“, kritisieren die Urheber der Petition. Barrosos Entscheidung, für „solch eine Bank zu arbeiten, ist ein weiteres Beispiel der unverantwortbaren 'Drehtür'-Praktiken, die nicht nur den EU-Institutionen schaden, sondern trotz Legalität auch moralisch verwerflich sind“.
Petition, open to all European citizens until end of September 2016, for strong exemplary measures to be taken against José Manuel Barroso, whose behaviour dishonours the European civil service and the European Union as a whole.

NOT IN OUR NAME!
We are a group of employees of the European Institutions, bound by our duty of confidentiality and professional discretion, who have come together because we are more and more concerned by the European project's deteriorating image among our families, friends and neighbours as well as the many citizens we encounter all over Europe.
On Friday, 8 July 2016, we learned, only a matter of days after the UK vote to leave the EU, that the former President of the European Commission, José Manuel Barroso, will soon take up a post at Goldman Sachs investment bank's London headquarters as non-executive chairman of international operations and adviser, to help it limit the negative effects of the Brexit.
This decision to go and work for one of the banks most implicated in the subprime crisis that led to the financial crisis of 2007-2008 – the worst since the Great Depression – as well as one of the banks most involved in the Greek debt crisis, having helped Greece dissimulate its deficit before speculating in 2009-2010 against it in full knowledge of the unsustainability of its debt, is a further example of the irresponsible revolving-door practices, which are highly damaging to the EU institutions and, even if not illegal, morally reprehensible.
It is irresponsible because it feeds into a political context which is not only Eurosceptic but now even openly Europhobic, where certain political representatives even from the majority in the European Parliament start to openly question the continuing existence of the European Commission and the Community method which – in times of past crises to important advancements – have served to build the European Union since the Treaty of Rome.
It is damaging to the European institutions in the current delicate context of having to manage multiple crises piling up one after another – the refugee and migrant crisis, the crisis unleashed by the Brexit referendum, the continuing economic crisis, and the crisis over the kind of Europe we want. It is, at the worst possible moment, a disastrous symbol for the Union and a gift horse for the Europhobes that a former Commission President is associated with the unbridled and unethical financial values that Goldman Sachs represents.
It is morally reprehensible, in that it runs counter to the honour and probity of a European civil service supposed to defend the general European interest. All former members are bound to respect their duties of integrity and discretion under Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union Article 245, even after the expiration of the period of 18 months after leaving office. Even more so in the case of José Manuel Barroso, who was appointed twice by the Heads of State and Government, as well as by the European Parliament.
For all of these reasons, we call upon all European citizens by means of this petition to request that the two highest European Community instances, namely the Council of the European Union and the College of the European Commission, empowered to do so under TFEU Article 245, bring this matter before the European Court of Justice, so as to:
As we call upon all European citizens to sign and share this petition, we also call upon all the employees of the European Institutions who share our concerns, no matter what their status, to let us know that they support this petition (the employees' identity will remain strictly anonymous), and, if necessary, to join our group, the identity of whose members will also remain strictly anonymous, by contacting us at EUemployees@gmail.com, in order to launch new actions aimed at facilitating reconciliation between the EU and its citizens.

This petition will be delivered by the end of September 2016 to:
