“Cyprus may be forced out of the euro and this would be dangerous” -Michalis Attalides
Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

Michalis Attalides is Rector of the University of Nicosia and holder of a Jean Monnet Chair at the University. He has been a lecturer in Sociology at the University of Leicester, a counterpart to the UNESCO Expert at the Cyprus Social Research Centre and a Guest Lecturer at the Free University of Berlin. He has represented the Republic of Cyprus as its Ambassador in a number of capitals, including Paris, London, and the European Union in Brussels, before being appointed Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. He has also represented the Cyprus government in the European Convention.
Attalides graduated from the London School of Economics with a BSc in Economics, received an MA and, in 1966, a PhD in Sociology from Princeton University.
In a speech delivered upon taking office, Nicos Anastasiades underlined that his first priority as President was to “reinstate Cyprus’ credibility,” to work closely with the country’s European partners and to fulfill, “to the outmost,” his country’s responsibilities. The president delivered that speech a little over a month ago. What happened? Why was Cyprus rushed to the brink?
It is indeed difficult to fully comprehend the behavior of our European partners. They had shown a great deal of patience with the previous, communist president of Cyprus, Demetris Christophias, who had exhibited many signs of being suspicious of the European Union and western institutions generally, and who had since March 2011, when Cyprus was pushed out of the money markets, consistently sought alternatives to a European Memorandum of Understanding.
