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.

Gaza 2 Years On: Yanis Varoufakis & Katie Halper on the Flotilla, Israel's PR Machine & What’s Next

DiEM25   Two years since October 7, Katie Halper (‪@TheKatieHalperShow‬) and Yanis Varoufakis join host Mehran Khalili to break down Israel’s genocide in Gaza, the latest on the flotilla, Israel’s influencer PR push, and the “peace plan”.

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.

WikiLeaks reveals that literally every router in America has been compromised

The latest Wikileaks Vault7 release reveals details of the CIA’s alleged Cherry Blossom project, a scheme that uses wireless devices to access users’ internet activity. globinfo freexchange As cyber security expert John McAfee told to RT and Natasha Sweatte: Virtually, every router that's in use in the American home are accessible to hackers, to the CIA, that they can take over the control of the router, they can monitor all of the traffic, and worse, they can download malware into any device that is connected to that router. I personally, never connect to any Wi-Fi system, I use the LTE on my phone. That's the only way that I can be secure because every router in America has been compromised. We've been warning about it for years, nobody pays attention until something like WikiLeaks comes up and says 'look, this is what's happening'. And it is devastating in terms of the impact on American privacy because once the router...

Confirmed: US imperialists wanted to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine since at least 2019

globinfo freexchange   As we wrote in our previous article, after almost eight years, the US imperialists and the NATO criminals got what they wanted. They finally managed to drag Russia into a war with Ukraine.     We now have indisputable evidence for that, through a document by the top US think tank, RAND Corporation. In the preface of a 2019 report under the title Extending Russia, Competing from Advantageous Ground we read: [emphasis added]                            The purpose of the project was to examine a range of possible means to extend Russia. By this, we mean nonviolent measures that could stress Russia’s military or economy or the regime’s political standing at home and abroad. The steps we posit would not have either defense or deterrence as their prime purpose, although they might contribute to both. Rather, these steps ar...

Already happens: Capitalism destroys human labor force and goes to the next phase

by system failure Connecting the dots one can discover the most nightmarish scenarios. Destructive capitalism's next phase is the total substitution of the human labor force with robotic machines, or in other words, the hyper-automatization. There is a process taking place right now, and no one (or nearly no one) knows what would happen after its completion. The true picture behind unemployment From a latest article in PressTV: “ Did you know that there are nearly 102 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now? And 20 percent of all families in the United States do not have a single member that is employed. So how in the world can the government claim that the unemployment rate has “dropped” to '6.3 percent'?” “ Well, it all comes down to how you define who is 'unemployed'. For example, last month the government moved another 988,000 Americans into the 'not in the labor force' category.” http://www.presstv.ir/detail...

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...
