system failure
From
the first moment of the current Greek government in power, we saw a
storm of pictures and actions through the first week after the Greek
elections, indicating that this government truly represents the
people.

Yesterday
we saw something unprecedented: thousands of people gathered in
Athens and Thessaloniki, to show their support to the Greek
government fighting to end austerity policies and destroy the
neoliberal agenda. Until now, protests were against government,
violent, with the police forces and the protesters transforming the
center of Athens into a battlefield.
From
the GreekReporter:
“A
demonstration largely different from those Athens has seen in recent
years took place today in downtown Athens’ Syntagma Square. The
rally was called for 6.00 pm and was organized through social media.
It was the first pro-government demonstration organized in Greece in
recent years. Four years ago, in summer 2011 the Spanish-inspired
movement of the 'Indignados' attracted thousands of protestors
rallying against austerity measures in the same square.”
“Once
again, the protestors’ request was the abolition of the austerity
policies imposed upon Greece. The crowds gathered in front of the
Greek Parliament in support of the new anti-austerity SYRIZA-led
government’s efforts to renegotiate the country’s international
debt.”
“It
should be noted that police presence was null and it was the first
time protestors could even reach the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and
the stairs leading to the Greek Parliament, as the iron fence that
was installed there for years has been removed by the new government.
Similar peaceful demonstrations were held in other major Greek
cities.”
Meanwhile,
the Germans appear that they seek a decent exit from the dead end
which they created and Varoufakis gave them one: he stated that the
Greek government essentially agree with the 67% of the program
imposed by the Troika.
Of
course, this 67% in reality is not measurable. It may be 57% or 47%,
or 30% etc. Or, it may be a percentage of quality characteristics,
meaning that what's important right now is a fight against corruption
in Greece. Schäuble and the German leadership hypocritically declare
that the corruption is a major issue which must be dealt, but they do
not say anything about Siemens scandal and other German companies
related to the Greek politicians of the past years.
The
important thing now is that the IMF program in Greece has been
terminated and they know it. The Greek government began aggressively
to stop austerity and apply its own agenda so that to force Troika to
start the real negotiation. It is a smart tactic showing also the
determination of Greece right now.
However,
the battle is peaking now. In case that banksters will risk to pull
the rope to the edge, ECB will cut the last funding source through
the ELA mechanism.

Therefore, Greece should be prepared for the last defence line:
return to national currency.
