Diverse Opinions and Pressures in Greek Situation

grecia euroBrussels, Jul 18 (Prensa Latina) A diversity of criteria and economic pressures describe the Greek situation today, which has a rude way before it in order to achieve a relief to its financial crisis.

The agreement between Athens and the Eurogroup passes at present by severe criticfism from the Greek people, while steely German stands are in the way before getting a monetary aid that allows it to really escape from bankruptcy.

Several are the opinions of how Greece could solve the situation as that expressed by former Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoutakis, who pretended to nationalize the banking system of his country and issue bonds to face the pressure.

Philosopher, sociologue and commentator from Slovenia, Slavoj Zizek, for example, gave his opinion to British pres son those financial incidents.

He described as sickness what occurs with the European Union (EU) and Greece, and referred as a great disaster the deal with the so-called troikia (European Commission, European Central Bank (ECB) and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Greece succeeded this week an agreement with its creditors to obtain a financial aid of 86 billion euros in Exchange for more austerity and reforms, which were precisely rejected byh the Greek in a popular referéndum held on July 5, with a NO from 61.3 percent of the voters.

Zizek says the real catastrophe aims, besides Greece, to all of Europe, as the opportunity to create a more humane old continent, instead the cold technicism of the EU prevailed.

Also, as Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras defended, the sense of not finding another option to prevent his countrys bankruptcy.

A report of the debt agency PDMA indicated that Greece collected new funds in capital markets and achieved to refinance the short-term debt with one billion euros.

That amount is paid with an interest of 2.70 percentk, amid diverse opinions on the acceptance of creditor measures and the intention of the Athens government to facilitate the situation of the Greek people.

Varoufakis timely said to the press he had a Plan B to save his country. In an interview with the British weekly New Statesman, the former Minister of Finance said that from January to the 7th of July this year, he had warned his colleagues that Germany and the European Central Bank had a double tweezer to suffocate them. In those plans was the closure of banks, alerted Varoufakis for one month when saying that they were trying to suffocate Greece.

He insisted rthat the proposal was not to abandon the euro and adopt the dracma, as his idea was that the ECB would close banks and they should respond with a severe blow.

In that case, he planned to print IOUs or announce they would do that, to apply a reduction in Greek bonds emitted in 2012 to the ECB and take control of the Bank of Greece.

Now, the Eurogroup as well as creditor organizations predict a rough negotiating road to arrive at a definitive plan of salvation for the Greek economy, despite the acceptance of their neoliberal measures under the accusing look of many Greek citizens.
