By John Ward: Last Monday, a secret meeting of the Big SDs in Brussels took place
to discuss Greece. Yesterday afternoon at 3.40 pm New York Time, the
penny finally dropped at Murdoch’s Wall Street Journal:
‘[The meeting] discussed how to press the
Greek government to forge ahead with unpopular structural reforms; and
second, how to scramble together extra cash to cover a shortfall in the country’s financing
for the second half of the year, estimated at €5 billion-€6
billion….the troika have put on hold their plans to travel to Athens.
Concerns are growing because Greece faces a large maturity of government bonds in May of €11 billion.’
Two weeks ago, in a post entitled Mind the Gap, I wrote:
‘Several
charts obtained from the EU and IMF finally end the debate about
Greece’s funding gap this morning: without further loan support, Greece
will default in May. And even if this is forthcoming, the country will
default without yet more help in August.’
I hope plenty of Greeks noticed the WSJ
piece, but I suspect they didn’t. Please pass on this information to as
many influential Athenians as you can. And to the PM’s supporters in
Kalamata, I say “FFS wake up”.
Your Prime Minister lied to you about
‘leaving the bailout scheme next year’. Your Prime Minister tried to
frame Golden Dawn (an organisation I abhor) with a clumsy tissue of
lies. His fat clown Evangelos Venizelos (the surname itself invented to
claim lineage from one of Greece’s finest families) is a crooked
embezzler who has ruined his Party and sold out his supporters. Even
Alexis Tsipras continues to believe that Greece can stay in the euro and
survive.
It cannot. From here on, Greece needs
leaders it can look up to….without them spitting in its face. Former
Pasokians, honest centrists and the Parties of the Left should come to
an anti-Brussels accommodation, and fight the next election to keep the
old guard and the new Nazis out – and then kick out the Eunatics for
good.
ανεξαρτησία για την Ελλάδα!
