Ræða flutt á Opnum borgarafundi #1
í IÐNÓ, mánudaginn 27. október 2008
Ég hef að undanförnu verið að tjá mig um margfalt meiri lygasögu en ég hef nokkru sinni getað spunnið sem skáldskap. Já, hver er sá draugur sem hér ríður húsum? Vofa gengur ljósum logum um samfélagið, vofa sársauka og reiði, vofa vonbrigða, atvinnumissis og fátæktar. Súpueldhúsin svífa í loftinu. Það verður nóg að gera hjá Mæðrastyrksnefnd fyrir jólin. Stjórnvöld eru margsaga og segja okkur ekki hvað er að gerast og auðmennirnir hafa sýnt okkur sitt rétta andlit. Eftirlitsstofnanir virka ekki. Nú eru valdhafarnir hræddir. Þetta sannar norski hernaðarráðgjafinn, fyrrverandi samstarfsmaður Bjarna Ármannssonar og spunameistari Glitnis. Vonandi er hann farinn af landinu og vonandi kemur hann aldrei aftur. Hann átti að kenna Geir Haarde að tala. Við getum alveg kennt þér að tala Geir. Þú átt bara að segja satt. Ykkur í ríkisstjórninni væri nær að kalla Bjarna Ármannsson heim og láta hann skila því sem hann hefur hirt úr sjóðum með bellibrögðum og leiða honum það fyrir sjónir að öll þessi ofurlaun sem hann tók sér séu helber misskilningur. Segið við Bjarna: „Mannorð þitt verður ekki hreinsað nema þú skilir þessu.“ Segið þetta sama við hina auðmennina, þessa þrjátíu sem veðsett hafa þrjúhundruð þúsund manns. Það er ekki verið að veiða þá í nein net. Það er einunigis verið segja þeim að sæta ábyrgð. Stjórnvöld réttu þessum mönnum þjóðskrána og ábyrgðust heilt spilavíti, rússneska rúllettu, og niðurstaðan er ónýtt mannorð heillar þjóðar – og við sem áttum þó alltaf stoltið. Er enginn ábyrgur fyrir þessu?
Já, þau eru mörg gullkornin sem detta út úr hagfræðingunum þessa dagana. Einn þeirra sér vonarglætu í því að brátt munu hinir fjársterku auðmenn flytja fé sitt heim og kaupa eigur okkar fyrir lítinn pening. Þegar fólk er orðið gjaldþrota. Það er þetta sem auðmennirnir eru að bíða eftir og þetta á að framkvæma í skjóli ríkisstjórnarinnar. Þetta hefur gerst annars staðar, í öðrum fjármálakreppum. Þetta eru skilyrðin sem verið er að skapa. Þetta er stefna frjálshyggjunnar til að styrkja ríkidæmi hinna ríku. Kreppan er þeirra verk. Þetta er voðaverkið sem auðmennirnar ætla að fremja í skjóli ríkisstjórnar Geirs Haarde og Ingibjargar Sólrúnar Gísladóttur. Og það er þegar byrjað. Skuldug fyrirtækin renna skuldlaus aftur til fyrri eigenda sinna. Það er smurt ofan í þá. Menn sem skulda þúsund milljarða leysa þetta til sín, einsog að drekka vatn. Þetta er kerfið sem þau ætla að koma á svo allt geti haldist í gamla horfinu. Þess vegna er sama fólkið í sömu stöðunum, á sömu stöðunum. En við sitjum uppi með, sumir segja tíu milljónir á mann, aðrir tuttugu milljónir. Hér eru heimildir misvísandi, einsog í öllu öðru. Við í þessum sal skuldum tugi þúsunda milljónir. Og þessar skuldir eru fyrir utan húsnæðisskuldirnar, fjárránið sem nú fer fram með falli krónunnar, gjaldþrotin og atvinnumissinn. Það á ekkert að breytast nema að við eigum að þræla fyrir skuldunum sem þessir menn hafa hellt yfir okkur. Þetta kallar Ingibjörg Sólrún björgunaraðgerðir og hún segir að þetta verði tvö erfið ár á galeiðu hennar og Geirs Haarde. Um hvað er konan að tala?
Samningurinn við Alþjóðagjaldeyrissjóðinn mun tryggja valdamestu aðildarþjóðum hans ódýran aðgang að auðlindum okkar og Vilhjálmur Egilsson er strax farinn að predika þessi sjónarmið, enda fyrrverandi starfsmaður sjóðsins og einn af höfundum gjafakvótakerfisins. Nei, það er ekki hægt að segja að Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn beri mikla ábyrgð, því auðmannapólitík hefur alltaf verið hans stefna, þó allir sannir sjálfstæðimenn séu ósammála henni. Við gerum ekki kröfur um að Sjálfstæðisflokkurinn breyti neinu. En ég geri kröfur til ykkar jafnaðarmanna. Til Samfylkingarinnar. Hættið að hengja hatt ykkar á aukaatriðin. Við skulum leyfa ykkur að kanna hvað kemur út úr ESB, en við viljum heyra hvort sett verði á auðlindagjald, orkugjald til stóriðju. Nú eigum við kvótann. Hvað með leigja hann út og leggja arðinn í þjóðarsjóð? Til að borga skuldir. Ef það er hægt að setja neyðarlög á bankana og rjúfa öll samskipti almennings við eigur sínar, af hverju er þá ekki hægt að setja lög á eignir auðmannnanna sem viðskiptanefnd Alþingis telur ósnertanlegar? Slík lög eru ólög við þessar aðstæður. Þið eruð búin að koma okkur ofan í slíkan drullupoll. Fyrsta skrefið í átt til hreingerningar er að þið látið ykkur hverfa. Þið getið reynt að koma aftur. Þið bjóðið ykkur bara fram og lýðræðið svarar hvar þið lendið.
Ingibjörg Sólrún! Leggst þú nú undir feld einsog Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði og settu hugsmuni fólksins í landinu ofar hagsmunum flokksins og ofar hagsmunum þínum. Leggðu þessa ríkisstjórn niður einsog Þorgeir hafnaði heiðninni. Þorgeir Ljósvetningagoði lét skynsemina ráða. Gerðu það einnig. Saknir þú Geirs getið þið blótað frjálshyggjuna á laun en hvorki í heyrenda hljóði né heldur svo að meiri skaði hljótist af.
Þetta er spurning um hvort þjóðin velur sér stjórn eða stjórnin velur sér þjóð. Við erum ekki bara að berjast fyrir okkur, við erum að berjast fyrir börn okkar og barnabörn. Ef þið brjótið okkur á bak aftur með ofbeldi munu afkomendur okkar að minnsta kosti geta sagt: Forfeður okkar og mæður reyndu.
