The best definition of Alexis Tsipras has formulated a staid political analyst greek, Gerassimos Moschonas, professor of comparative political analysis in the Department of Political Science and History Panteion University of Athens. Robbie said: “Tsipras is the leader of a party demagogic.” Could clarify, though, saying that Tsipras is “the leader of a party demagogic populist.” Is that some sort of Luigi De Magistris, the mayor of Naples, although the latter is more educated but certainly much less sympathetic.
Tsipras did believe, during his election campaign that if he won a majority, he would have kicked ass the Troika. What is the Troika not know exactly in many of the general public, not just greek. But Troika is, in itself, a name left: sounds like the CIA or KGB. An organization so nefarious, that sucks blood to the poor people and limits their freedom and then, if it kicks ass, it is not only right but also a duty and rewarding. But the Troika, just to remove some icing to the hoax, not an institution but, rather, an association of three bodies. In the specific case, the Troika consists of the European Central Bank (ECB), the European Commission and the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Their function is to, in this case, to provide credit to countries in trouble, but also putting in place mechanisms (big ways typical of any banking activity) aimed at preventing the money granted by them to end up in bottles with holes and therefore not come back back.
Tsipras began his campaign with the hope of bringing home the 20-25% of the votes. Less what has raked, from us, the M5s Beppe Grillo. It had begun threatening tsunamis. First programmatic commitment: because the euro will throttle, we will come out. And goodbye gringos. Then when he realized that he could win the election (and then had to keep the promises) Tsipras struck out the first goal and ensured that he would never come out from the euro, but would only have forced the cancellation of the debts of Greece. In elections took place and victory achieved even Tsipras has however noticed that the fire had too big and then, hoping not to be noticed in his reckless U-turn, said he did not ask to cancel certain debts but only to make them infinite and reduce considerably (“practically nothing”, let out in front of a microphone was switched on) rates on Greek sovereign debt.
But to show he did not do discounts and to pay tribute to the honor greek (the one who holds both the Minister of Finance Yanis Varoufakis bodybuilder when he speaks with his colleagues of the main European countries) Tsipras made know, elections took place, which would immediately canceled all privatization already decided by the previous government, from that of the Port of Piraeus, succumbed to the Chinese who are turning in their bridgehead in the Mediterranean, with evident benefits, economic and employment for Greece (and much damage, for example, for our port of Gioia Tauro who meets these needs). I do not know what happened (perhaps someone must have whispered a few words in the ear) and Tsipras immediately said that “the port of Piraeus has been privatized and no one, least of all I want to cancel that decision.”
Meanwhile, proving not want to take the bridle, not public spending crazy already made in the past by the state greek (those, by now, have been made, amen) but at least future, Tsipras also announced taking other 100 000 (‘at least’) civil servants. Here, too, there must have been someone who has warned not to shoot too big for that, this flood of patronage (he had called Keynesian) recruitment of civil servants, not talk about it anymore because, if in March the famous Troika not refinance Greece (other than blood sucker!), Tsipras will have no money to pay civil servants in place.
Before the election (ie ten days ago) Tsipras said ultimativamente at all ” Greece will not take orders from no more! “, or:” Greece is no longer a partner miserable listening lessons on homework to do. ” Now, I repeat, only ten days later, Tsipras has totally changed music, saw that says: “We are willing to deal,” or “We have a commitment with the rules of the European Union and we respect and will respect the rule regarding budgets no deficit. ” To understand that the already planned new 100 thousand employees at the expense of the taxpayers of the rest of Europe will have to wait another turn to sit down, warm, behind a desk.
It is true that Greece has on his shoulders unsustainable debt. And it is true that the interest and repayments on this debt have become too onerous. To get out of the bottleneck, we must reduce the debt burden (lengthening the time to return and reducing the interest charged to Greece) but it is also true, as said German Economy Minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble that “The causes of the crisis remain in Greece and that is where they should be removed, “while on the help, Community on the one hand (the ECB and the Commission) and the other international (IMF). Yesterday’s decision of the other dragons ‘no longer accept Greek sovereign bonds as collateral in exchange for cash’ was thus a clear signal and clarifier. The problem Greece (but not only) there. It can be tackled with the help of all but also with the accession of Greece, which certainly can not be humiliated, but he can not even raise its voice.
From this point of view the position of Renzi has been very clear. The Italian prime minister has in fact said that the decision of the ECB was “a lawful decision, which puts all the parties around a table in a direct confrontation and I hope positive.” The Italian prime minister has not taken refuge in demagoguery feel-good also because he knows that Italy has granted Greece a rescue of 43 billion (at the time of Mountains) and it would be nice to learn that, to please Tsipras, this huge swag to go away in smoke. “Help yourself and heaven help you,” they said in short, to Greece, the leaders of European countries that are ready to cooperate but they ask, for example, that the laughable fiscal pressure is raised to 34%, over time, at least ten points, that the privatization plan will continue, that corruption is reduced, that the cease patronage hiring and so on.
