Then why are you complaining about them taking your money? I must say, you're not being very consistent with your position on this.
Because I don't think the bail-out was handled well. And I'm also complaining that people are falsely accusing the EU of taking Cypriots' money, when in fact they were taking EU taxpayers' money.
Requiring that the deposits be forfeited? No, they did that. Robbing Peter to pay Paul is still robbery.
They didn't demand the deposits be forfeited, they simply refused to put any money into the banks they never guaranteed in the first place. If the Cypriot government had been solvent, had exercised proper oversight, or had been prudent enough not to guarantee deposits in untrustworthy banks, then it would have been able to uphold its obligations. It was their insolvency that caused them to do what they did, not the EU. Without the EU, the mess would have been even greater for the Cypriots.
