What I do understand is that the government is raiding the savings accounts of all its citizens. From a personal point of view, I hope this will lead to riots in the streets and the fall of the government.
I suspect it will. I pray it does not lead to loss of life.
We have some pretty stupid governments here in the UK. Even so, I would not expect ours to try something so suicidal. Mind, it will do us here in the UK no harm if the Cypriot government falls as a result of this - pour encourager les autres, etc
Good luck all of you in Cyprus. In 20 years this will all be a bad dream. In the meantime, all we can do is hope for the best for you. And we do, I promise.
