Driza: "I have money, I’ll remember it when Japan comes" Yesterday the Bailiff’s Office decision: "suspended until a second order" The State Bank "breaks up" the usurers: does fear inform? Andrea STEFANI The alleged ferryman of the underworld. [?] across the whole screen of the Bailiff’s Office. That wavering lasts only long enough for the decision to be announced, the steepest rise in the shudder of the creditors’ response. Most of them burst into insults and shouts, but not only that. One throws the money to the ground; another demands an answer; another coughs and sighs; another goes to strike the wall. What happens here is reminiscent of a theater hall where the end of the play is announced and where everyone feels lost. On the faces of those who had kept hope, one reads a panic mixed with revulsion and resignation. In a brief pause, one man tells another that if he had been in the place of the one who promised miracles, he would have disappeared. Another remembers the savings, the borrowed money, the funds gathered through sacrifice. A woman cries and asks aloud who will give her the money back. Some begin to leave, but return again to the door. Above all hangs a feeling of emptiness. The decision read there bears the seal of the state, but it brings neither calm nor an escape route.
