Greece, as rarely happens in the history of each country, is passing moments of unity and struggle against those who – in the rest of ‘Europe and especially Berlin – believes we can go against the will of the people, by insisting on a recovery plan for suicide. Greece proposes to the rest of the continent to return master of its own destiny.
The slogan “we do not blackmail. We do not give. We are not afraid. Not arretriamo. We win, “heard during the event, organized last Thursday in record time on social networks while the capital and the European institutions came news of” closure “to the demands of the government of Tsipras, at this time reflects the feelings of the majority of the Greeks: anger at the lack of solidarity on the part of European partners, to determine what might happen. “We’ll go to the end,” says the same repeats Tsipras, stressing that “democracy has spoken, and no one has the right not to listen.” That it is not a suicidal move, hear a collective stubbornness, but rather a conscious attitude due to the catastrophic consequences of the ‘blood and tears “of recent years, you can tell by talking to the Greeks.
Anger, determination, and not only because the ‘euro zone dominated by Berlin has ruled out the possibility of addressing the issue of public debt, which concerns not only Greece, without taking into account the’ election results and the fact that the recipe applied by the troika ( IMF, EU, ECB) has not had a positive result. The Greeks make now realize that in Brussels and in Berlin beyond the fine words, the politicians do not care about the impoverishment of hundreds of thousands of Greek families, nor unemployment, hunger, the collapse of the health system, suicides nor for the fact that the third party in parliament is Chrysi Avghi (Golden Dawn), a Nazi party grew because of the crisis. For EU leaders – say greci- count numbers. But even those are not good, as the debt increases and the recession continues, despite promises.
The fact that Berlin and its closest allies in the Eurozone in an increasingly cynical refuse even the possibility to discuss a proposed agreement-bridge from Athens, removing practically the neo greek government the time needed to organize and deal then its recovery plan and reform, shows the panic and the ‘real goal of Ankela Merkel: Greece fold Alexis Tsipras and because they represent a real danger to neoliberalism ‘merkeliano “and the Germanization of’ Europe. The government of Alexis Tsipras a few days after the extraordinary meeting of the ‘Eurogroup and the EU summit at the official level remains without allies, despite the solidarity expressed by a growing number of intellectuals and trade unionists from around the world- but collects more than 70% of support of the electorate and a growing number of MPs who are in favor of the demands of the greek prime minister.
Deputies conservatives, leaving aside the official line of the leader of New Democracy, Antonis Samaras, increasingly isolated , have expressed their support to the moves of the prime minister, while yesterday the candidate for president of the parliament, Zoe Constantopoulou, was elected by collecting 235 of 298 votes, a record number for the parliamentary history of the country. In its favor the 149 MPs who voted for Syriza, the 76 New Democracy, the 17 of To Potami, the Greeks of 13 independent and 13 of PASOK. Abstentions and against were the votes of the Communists of the KKE and the Nazis of Golden Dawn. Constantopoulou, Parliamentary SYRIZA, human rights lawyer and opponent of corruption, is the youngest – was born in 1976- President of the Hellenic Parliament and the second woman who takes such a position in the State. Yesterday there was a meeting of Alexis Tsipras with the staff of the ministers involved in the preparation of the recovery plan, which will be presented at a summit on 16 February, while the greek prime minister met with the ‘American ambassador in Athens and the Secretary of US finances.
In the game also entered Vladimir Putin who invited Alexis Tsipras to visit Moscow on May 9 to discuss relations with the ‘EU and the issue of gas pipelines to Greece. The goal of Athens – that will be expressed at the special meeting of the ‘Eurogroup – remains the renegotiation of an economic program that delivers growth without austerity and further indebtedness of the country to the detriment of both Greek European partners.
“We have a commitment with the rules of the ‘EU, but the’ austerity and unreachable primary surpluses are not instituting the rules of the EU,” said yesterday the premier greek. “From our partners, though – he added – we demand that they respect democracy and the will of the people in Greece and, above all, the decision of the greek people to stop the continuation of the error in this country.” Tomorrow, meanwhile, begins the parliamentary debate on the government’s policy statements that cocluderà at midnight on Tuesday by a vote of confidence to the new government. For the next day, 11 February, while in Brussels the Eurogroup will discuss the case greek, Athens, Thessaloniki and other cities will be organized rallies in support of the government greek. Platia Syntagmatos in Athens, the square in front of the White Tower in Thessaloniki, the central squares in Patras, Heraklion, Volos, will be filled with thousands of people to repeat their solidarity with the dream-team of Tsipras.
