Nous sommes avec la Grèce et l'Europe

Trois cents économistes et universitaires de tous les continents, de James Galbraith à Stephany Griffith-Jones, de Jacques Sapir à Dominique Meda, appellent les gouvernements européens et les institutions internationales à « respecter la décision du peuple grec » et à « engager des négociations de bonne foi avec le nouveau gouvernement grec pour résoudre la question de la dette ».

Nous appelons les gouvernements d’Europe, la commission européenne, la Banque centrale européenne et le FMI à respecter la décision du peuple grec de choisir une nouvelle voie et d’engager des négociations de bonne foi avec le nouveau gouvernement grec pour résoudre la question de la dette.

Le gouvernement grec a raison de soutenir qu’une profonde réorientation est nécessaire car les politiques mises en œuvre jusque là sont un complet fiasco. Elles n’ont apporté ni la reprise économique, ni la stabilité financière, ni les emplois, ni même des investissements directs étrangers. Elles ont abîmé la société grecque et affaibli ses institutions. L’approche suivie fut purement et simplement néfaste, elle n’a permis aucun progrès qu’il conviendrait de préserver. Nous demandons aux partenaires européens de prendre acte de cette réalité qui est à l’origine de l’élection du nouveau gouvernement grec.

La Grèce a besoin de mesures humanitaires immédiates, d’un salaire minimum plus élevé, de création d’emplois, d’investissements et de mesures qui permettent de restaurer et d’améliorer les services de bases tels que la santé et l’éducation. Il lui faut se doter d’un système fiscal plus robuste et plus progressif, qui repose moins sur la TVA et soit mieux à même de taxer les revenus et les patrimoines. Le nouveau gouvernement doit aussi combattre, punir et éradiquer la corruption. Pour mener ces politiques à bien et leur donner le temps de démontrer leur efficacité, des marges budgétaires sont nécessaires. En attendant, le pays a besoin du refinancement de la Banque centrale européenne pour stabiliser son système bancaire. Nous demandons aux autorités européennes et aux gouvernements de laisser à la Grèce ces marges budgétaires et de garantir ce refinancement.

Le gouvernement grec a raison d’exiger une annulation de sa dette vis-à-vis des partenaires européens. Cette dette est insoutenable et ne sera jamais remboursée quoi qu’il advienne. Il n’y a donc pas de perte économique pour les autres pays et leurs contribuables. Au contraire, un nouveau départ pour la Grèce permettra de relancer l’activité, d’augmenter les revenus et de créer des emplois et bénéficiera ainsi aux pays voisins. Nous demandons instamment aux créanciers de la Grèce de saisir cette chance et d’exposer clairement et honnêtement ces faits aux populations.

Ce qui est en jeu, ce n’est pas seulement le sort de la Grèce, mais bien le futur de l’Europe dans son ensemble. Une politique de menaces, d’ultimatum, d’obstination et de chantages signifierait aux yeux de tous l’échec moral, politique et économique du projet européen. Nous demandons instamment aux leaders européens de rejeter et de condamner toutes les tentatives d’intimidation et de coercition à l’égard du gouvernement et du peuple de Grèce.

A l’inverse, le succès de la Grèce peut indiquer un chemin vers la prospérité et la stabilité en Europe. Il permettrait un renouveau de la démocratie et ouvrirait le jeu électoral à d’autres changements constructifs. Nous sommes avec la Grèce et l’Europe, pour la démocratie et le changement. Les dirigeants européens doivent reconnaître le choix démocratique décisif effectué par le peuple grec dans des circonstances extrêmement difficiles, procéder à une évaluation réaliste de la situation et s’engager sans tarder sur la voie d’une négociation raisonnable.

"Kidnapped in Int'l Waters": Israel Intercepts Gaza-Bound Aid Ship, Detains Greta Thunberg & Others

Democracy Now!   Eleven peace activists and one journalist on board the Gaza Freedom Flotilla ship, the "Madleen," were detained by Israeli soldiers as their ship carrying vital humanitarian aid for starving Palestinians approached Gaza.    The ship was intercepted by Israeli forces in the middle of the night in international waters. Its supplies were seized and communications jammed. The unarmed activists will likely be transported to Israeli detention or "immediately deported," says Ann Wright, a U.S. military veteran who has participated in four Freedom Flotilla journeys and now serves on the steering committee of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition. She calls on citizens of countries around the world to push for the activists' release and an end to Israel's war on Gaza. 

How Israel’s Supporters Play Victim to Justify Genocide & Silence Critics

BreakThrough News   As Israel commits a live-streamed genocide in Gaza, Western media and political elites continue to center one narrative: Jewish fear. But what about the actual victims of this genocide—Palestinians? Journalist Nora Barrows-Friedman joins Rania Khalek on Dispatches for a fearless conversation on Zionist indoctrination in the Jewish diaspora, how antisemitism is being weaponized to silence critics of Israel, and how Jewish identity politics has been manipulated to cover for unspeakable crimes. From the media blackout on Israeli war crimes to the erasure of anti-Palestinian hate crimes—even in the diaspora—Nora lays bare the contradictions and power structures behind it all. 

How the EU is using anti-Russia sanctions to criminalise journalism

The EU sanctioned me and my media outlet for covering Palestine protests in Germany. It’s part of Europe’s growing authoritarianism and militarism, cloaked in language of fighting disinformation and defending democracy.   by Hüseyin Dogru   Part 2 - How the EU uses anti-Russian hysteria to smear Palestine solidarity journalism   The official rationale for sanctioning me hinges on red .’s alleged links to Russian influence. The EU sanctions listing cited just two pieces of “evidence”: that some red. staff had previously worked for Russian-funded media, and that we covered “politically controversial subjects” – specifically: Palestine. That’s it. The listing accuses me, through my work with red ., of “facilitating violent demonstrations”, amplifying “radical Islamic terrorist narratives” and claims our staff “coordinated with occupiers”. Not a single piece of evidence is cited, apart from the fact that we published footage of a pro-Palestine student occupation in Berlin. I...

UN report confirms: Israel is a terrorist state and its goal is to exterminate all Palestinians

Israeli attacks on educational, religious and cultural sites in the Occupied Palestinian Territory amount to war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, UN Commission says.     globinfo freexchange Israel has obliterated Gaza’s education system and destroyed over half of all religious and cultural sites in the Gaza Strip, part of a widespread and relentless assault against the Palestinian people in which Israeli forces have committed war crimes and the crime against humanity of extermination, the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including East Jerusalem and Israel, said in a new report [yesterday]. While the Commission paid special attention to the situation in Gaza, the report focuses on attacks in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as a whole, and in Israel. “We are seeing more and more indications that Israel is carrying out a concerted campaign to obliterate Palestinian life in Gaza,” said Navi Pi...

How the U.S. & Israel Used Rafael Grossi to Hijack the IAEA and Start a War on Iran

Rafael Grossi, Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), allowed the IAEA to be used by the United States and Israel—an undeclared nuclear weapons state in long-term violation of IAEA rules—to manufacture a pretext for war on Iran, despite his agency’s own conclusion that Iran had no nuclear weapons program.   by Medea Benjamin - Nicolas J. S. Davies On June 12th, based on a damning report by Grossi, a slim majority of the IAEA Board of Governors voted to find Iran in non-compliance with its obligations as an IAEA member. Of the 35 countries represented on the Board, only 19 voted for the resolution, while 3 voted against it, 11 abstained and 2 did not vote. The United States contacted eight board member governments on June 10th to persuade them to either vote for the resolution or not to vote. Israeli officials said they saw the U.S. arm-twisting for the IAEA resolution as a significant signal of U.S. support for Israel’s war plans, revealing how much Isra...

War criminal Netanyahu is pushing the Orange Clown and the US into the abyss

globinfo freexchange   It seems that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu, is rushing to accelerate the decline of the US empire by forcing Donald Trump into an utterly devastating war with Iran.   Trump shot himself in the foot during his first term by killing the Iran nuclear deal just because he wanted to erase everything from the Obama legacy. His insane narcissism pushed him into crazy acts and made him believe that he could make another deal with Iran credited solely on him.   But now he is in big trouble because he has to deal with a corrupted psychopath who won't hesitate to burn the entire planet just to save himself.  As if the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza was not enough, the out-of-control psychopath Netanyahu, is doing whatever he can to drag the US into a war with Iran. As he realized that the Iranians are approaching the negotiating table again, (rather surprisingly with the man that killed the first deal and assassinated Qasem Soleimani), he decide...
