EU Police Force May Be Deployed To Put Down Riots In Greece
The economic crisis and the resulting growing unrest offer the EU government in Brussels a welcome opportunity to quietly test the deployment of a 'secret' EU force, which was established to put down uprisings in the EU. This secret unit is called EUROGENDFOR, has its headquarters in northern Italy, and is now preparing to leave for Greece, to be deployed against the population of an EU country.
In Brussels, all preparations are being made to for the first time employ the 'secret' EU force to crack down on uprisings. Most Europeans have never heard of this 'secret' unit.
The staff of the European task force of 3,000 troops has its headquarters In the Italian town of Vicenza [in the "Generale Chinotto" barracks], and is called "EUROGENDFOR".
It was initiated by the former French Defense Minister Alliot-Marie after the French had to deal more and more frequently with internal uprisings of Muslim immigrant youth with street battles and looting.
With the powers of the secret service, the equipped unit must in close cooperation with the European military guarantee the 'security in European foci of crises'. It is its duty as a police force to crush rebellions. More and more EU countries are joining EUROGENDFOR.
From the Eurogendfor website: "...the EGF HQ is now developing a comprehensive and coherent operational system, which will permit to be ready in case of prompt deployment to crisis areas. EGF goal is to provide the International Community with a valid and operational instrument for crisis management, first and foremost at disposal of EU, but also of other International Organizations, as NATO, UN and OSCE, and ad hoc coalitions."
Note: Turkey joins the European Gendarmerie force as Observer. "Furthermore," Furthermore EGF states: "...it is excellently suitable for deployment parallel with or immediately after a military operation to maintain public order and safety as well as in situations where local police services are not (sufficiently) deployed. Since January 2007, the EU has in theory always had two battlegroups on call, each comprising at least 1500 combat soldiers."
EUROGENDFOR is nothing else but a paramilitary police unit which in times of crisis can be deployed instead of the regularly army, so as not to raise the impression that an army of the country itself would fire on its own citizens.
To that purpose the secret unit EUROGENDFOR exists. The European Gendarmerie Force could theoretically be deployed anywhere the EU sees a crisis -- for example, when an EU country does not ratify the Lisbon Treaty, or against the will of the central government in Brussels wants to leave the EU. It's in the Lisbon Treaty, which regulates the deployment of EUROGENDFOR.
