35 οικονομολόγοι ζητούν διαγραφή του ελληνικού χρέους

Ως οικονομολόγοι, επισημαίνουμε πως τα ιστορικά στοιχεία αποδεικνύουν τη ματαιότητα και τους κινδύνους από την επιβολή μη βιώσιμων όρων για το χρέος και των όρων αποπληρωμής του από χώρες-οφειλέτες. (Αναφερόμαστε) στον αρνητικό αντίκτυπο που έχουν οι πολιτικές λιτότητας στην εξασθένιση των οικονομιών και ιδιαίτερα στα σοβαρά αποτελέσματα που αυτές έχουν για τα πλέον φτωχά νοικοκυριά.

Ως εκ τούτου, καλούμε την τρόικα (Ε.Ε., Ευρωπαϊκή Κεντρική Τράπεζα και ΔΝΤ) να διαπραγματευθούν καλόπιστα με την ελληνική κυβέρνηση, ώστε να υπάρξει ακύρωση ενός μεγάλου μέρους του χρέους, αλλά και νέους όρους πληρωμής, οι οποίοι θα στηρίζουν την ανοικοδόμηση μιας βιώσιμης οικονομίας. Η συμφωνία αυτή θα πρέπει να σημάνει την έναρξη ενός νέου κανονιστικού πλαισίου για ολόκληρη την Ε.Ε., το οποίο θα ενισχύει την ανάπτυξη αντί να προωθεί πολιτικές αποπληθωρισμού (Αναφορά, 14 Ιανουαρίου).

Καλούμε την ελληνική κυβέρνηση να εγκαταλείψει το πρόγραμμα λιτότητας η οποία διαλύει την οικονομική δραστηριότητα και να υιοθετήσει μια πιο επεκτατική δημοσιονομική πολιτική, η οποία θα στοχεύει στην άμεση ανακούφιση από τη φτώχεια και θα τονώνει περαιτέρω την εγχώρια ζήτηση. Η ελληνική κυβέρνηση θα πρέπει να ξεκινήσει μια πλήρως ανεξάρτητη έρευνα για την ιστορική και συστημική αποτυχία των διαδικασιών διαχείρισης των δημοσίων οικονομικών (συμπεριλαμβανομένης και οποιασδήποτε απόδειξης για διαφθορά), η οποία οδήγησε στη συσσώρευση χρέους, στην απόκρυψη του μεγέθους και της φύσης του χρέους αλλά και στην ανεπαρκή/αναποτελεσματική χρήση των δημοσίων πόρων. Θα πρέπει, επιπλέον, να λάβει υπ’ όψιν της τη δημιουργία ενός δικαστικού σώματος ή ενός εναλλακτικού μηχανισμού, ο οποίος θα είναι ανεξάρτητος από την κυβέρνηση και θα είναι επιφορτισμένος μελλοντικά με την ευθύνη της διερεύνησης των φαινομένων διαφθοράς από το υψηλότερο έως και το χαμηλότερο επίπεδο της κυβέρνησης.

Καλούμε τις άλλες εθνικές κυβερνήσεις να ασκήσουν το δικαίωμα ψήφου τους στο πλαίσιο των οργανισμών του επίσημου χρηματοοικονομικού τομέα και να ακολουθήσουν άλλες διπλωματικές δραστηριότητες, οι οποίες θα υποστηρίξουν τη διαγραφή ενός μεγάλου μέρους του ελληνικού δημόσιου χρέους αλλά την εγκαθίδρυση νέων όρων πληρωμής για την ανοικοδόμησης μιας βιώσιμης ελληνικής εθνικής οικονομίας.

F-35s & AI Chips: How MBS Outplayed Washington & Beijing

GVS Deep Dive  Saudi Arabia just secured two of the most powerful assets in modern geopolitics: the U.S. F-35 stealth fighter and tens of thousands of Nvidia’s most advanced AI chips. Washington hoped this would pull Riyadh firmly back into the American orbit. But the outcome is something neither side fully expected: Mohammad bin Salman outplayed both Washington and Beijing — and used the great-power rivalry to his advantage.

Greece, Palestine & Zionism: FPTV Reports from Athens

Free Palestine TV   Laith Marouf & Rabih Ghannam travel to Athens, Greece, and take a walking tour with local activists Evan Katsounis and Maria Kosmidi, to discover the rich history of anti-Zionist and anti-Fascist actions in the city, as well as the current Zionist incursion into the property sector and the counter actions directed at the presence of these War Criminals on the streets of the city. 

Trump BLEW IT: Israel, Candace Owens & Epstein BURY MAGA (But Not How You Think)

Trump RUINED: Israel First Lies & Economic Freefall Just ENDED MAGA

Danny Haiphong   Tucker Carlson isn't the only journalist breaking with Trump. In this video, Patrick Henningsen goes scorched earth on Trump's massive betrayal of what he promised his "MAGA" base and blows the lid off how his massive lies serve as a cover up for a much bigger structural problem in America's 'Israel First' political system, what Tucker and major voices in elite MAGA won't tell you.  

Varoufakis: IT technologies will overthrow Capitalism

globinfo freexchange The former Greek Minister of Finance, Yanis Varoufakis, ended his recent speech on the Future of Capitalism, at the New School, New York, with some interesting remarks. As he said: The world we live in, is increasingly rudderless, in a constant slow burning recession, while at the very same time, the increasing concentration in the IT sector is creating the new technologies that will do that which the Left has failed to do: overthrow Capitalism. It is really very simple. The moment machines pass the Turing test properly, and you pick up the phone and you do not know whether the person you are talking to is a human being or a machine ˙ the moment we are going to have 3D printers operating as public utilities - you can send any blueprint to it and it can print from one pin to a motorcycle, or to a car - the moment that this happens, we have not just a process of Schumpeterian creative destruction, but we have a process where economies of sc...

Capitalism & Genocide - Yanis Varoufakis Speech at the Gaza Tribunal, 23rd October 2025, Istanbul

Yanis Varoufakis   On 23rd October, Yanis Varoufakis testified in front of the Jury of Conscience in the context of the Gaza Tribunal. His speech focused on the economic forces underpinning the genocide of the Palestinian people. In particular, he spoke on the manner in which capitalist dynamics have historically fuelled the white settler colonial project and, more recently, how the accumulation of a new form of capital - which he calls cloud capital - has accelerated, deepened and amplified the economic forces powering and propelling the machinery of genocide. 

Racing Extinction

suggested by failedevolution.blogspot 18th Thessaloniki Documentary Festival Scientists predict that humanity’s footprint on the planet may cause the loss of 50% of all species by the end of the century. They believe we have entered the sixth major extinction in Earth’s history, following the fifth great extinction which took out the dinosaurs. Our era is called the Anthropocene, or “Age of Man,” because evidence shows that humanity has sparked a cataclysmic change of the world’s natural environment and animal life. Yet, we are the only ones who can stop the change we have created. The Oceanic Preservation Society (OPS), the group behind the Academy Award-winning film The Cove, is back with a new groundbreaking documentary. Joined by new innovators, this highly charged, impassioned collective of activists brings a voice to the thousands of species teetering on the very edge of life. The director has crafted an ambitious mission to clearly and artfu...

Trump Welcomes Syrian Leader & “REFORMED” TERRORIST To White House!

The Jimmy Dore Show   President Donald Trump is planning a White House welcome for Syria’s new president, former al-Qaeda in Iraq leader Ahmed al-Sharaa, who was installed after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad. Jimmy Dore argues that the U.S. and its allies, including Israel, have long funded extremist groups such as ISIS and al-Qaeda to serve foreign policy interests in the Middle East, so the embrace of al-Sharaa makes sense, even if it might confuse anyone who thought we took seriously the so-called “War on Terror.” He and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger contrast Trump’s willingness to meet with alleged terrorists to his refusal to engage in dialogue with leaders like Venezuela’s Nicolás Maduro, accusing U.S. policy of hypocrisy and imperialism.  

A response to misinformation on Nicaragua: it was a coup, not a ‘massacre’

There is so much misinformation in mainstream corporate media about recent events in Nicaragua that it is a pity that Mary Ellsberg’s article for Pulse has added to it with a seemingly leftish critique. Ellsberg claims that recent articles, including from this website, often “ paint a picture of the crisis in Nicaragua that is dangerously misleading. ” Unfortunately, her own article does just that. It looks at the situation entirely from the perspective of those opposing Daniel Ortega’s government while whitewashing their malevolent behavior and downplaying the levels of US support they have relied on. Her piece is an incomplete depiction of what is happening on the ground, ignoring many salient facts that have come to light and which have been outdated by recent events. The following is a brief response to Ellsberg’s main points from someone who lives in Nicaragua and has observed the situation directly and intimately: https://grayzoneproject.com/2018/08/15/a-res...

Maduro's opening to China

“ Chinese President Xi Jinping on Wednesday said he hopes Venezuela will use bilateral financing mechanisms and channel more funds to the areas of energy, mining, agriculture and industry while meeting with Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro.” “ Financing mechanisms between the two countries total more than 50 billion U.S. dollars, according to Venezuelan experts. Financing mechanisms, including the China-Venezuela Fund, have provided financial support for some 256 projects. China and Venezuela upgraded their relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership during Xi's visit to Venezuela in 2014, opening a new chapter in bilateral ties.” “ During their meeting, Xi called on the two sides to push bilateral ties to a higher-level. China supports Venezuela's efforts in restructuring its economy and establishing a manufacturing economic model, he said. Xi suggested the two countries push forward cooperation in the fields of oil exploration, infrastru...
