From reading the newspapers one would feel Greece offered nothing to the recent negotiations.
This is totally untrue. Considerable concessions were made
by Greece but nothing that was offered was good enough for the IMF, European Central
Bank and Euro group.
What the Troika wanted, demanded, amounted to nothing more
than outright economic persecution.
Pensions had already been cut by almost 50% which makes for
a life of deprivation for the citizens - yet the Troika requires more cuts.
Public administration has already been reduced to a minimum
- yet they want more cost cutting
Most of the public services and assets have already been privatized, hospitals and schools closed - yet they want more.
The Troika also wants to see increased rates of taxation
which will further affect the poor even further.
Review all labour law with a view of lessening workers rights
The demands of the Troika mean zero growth, more
unemployment and widespread deprivation for the general public.
To my mind the demands of the troika are designed to
created political upheaval in Greece with the end goal being “Regime Change”.
How dare the Greek people vote for a socialist government and challenge the
neoliberal world of Western Europe thought - how dare they - they must be punished
One wonders if the financial institutions rather than gunfire are - now, the mechanism for regime change in the Euro zone. If this is the case you can kiss democracy goodbye.
