After Alexis
Tsipras announced the Greek referendum, Jeroen Dijsselbloem declared
officialy the start of the class war in Europe:
"I
am very negatively surprised by today's decisions by the Greek
government. They have apparently rejected the last proposals on the
table from the three institutions and on that negative basis,
proposed to parliament to have a referendum," Jeroen
Dijsselbloem, who chairs the Eurogroup, told reporters before the
emergency meeting in Brussels. "This is a sad decision for
Greece because it has closed the door on further talks ... We will
hear from the Greek (finance) minister today in our meeting and then
talk about future consequences." (http://goo.gl/7hCkrX)
“At a
press conference, Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said that
regrettably Greek government has broken down negotiations and the
bailout programme will expire on Tuesday night. Eurogroup will hold
an 18-minister meeting after the press conference, excluding Greek
delegation to discuss further steps to take to maintain the stability
in the Eurozone.” (http://goo.gl/tpbGzw)
We've
already warned:

The
mobilization by the global financial mafia this time will be more
intense, as its representatives know that a potential Leftist
government in Greece who may strongly resist against the austerity
policies, could trigger an "uncontrolled" domino rise of
the Leftist powers in Europe, who will fight against the
neoliberal agenda. Make no mistake, the war will be hard. But
there is no alternative. Either the European people will choose to
fight determined and united, or, will be surrendered to the
plutocrats who will bring the new Dark Ages. The "Battle of
Greece" will be decisive ...

Jeroen "domino" Dijsselbloem... This is already how he is called, and how he'll be called in the future. Because he created the domino of destruction of Eurozone. Greece first, then Portugal, then Spain, then Italy, and then anyone...
ReplyDeleteAs a Dutch citizen I'd like to speak up for mr. Dijsselbloem.
ReplyDeleteI can find nothing in his coordination of the negotiations that disadvantaged Greece. On the contrary, I think he has been most accommodating.
As to the hyperbolically termed "destruction of the Euro Zone", you're kidding yourself.
Only Greece made such a mess of its economy and then steadfastily refused to reform (see the Eurostat links). Cyprus, Spain, Portugal, Ireland, they all had trouble but they got out of it. They can stay in.
Unfortunately Greece stands out in an economic sense, and leaving the Eurozone is probably the best thing to do. Greece has a free hand at last. Let's see what they make of it.
Having said that, EU structural funds are still available (but they will require Brussels approval before they can be spent to ensure they will be spent correctly), and Juncker's 2 billion is still available (awaiting sensible plans). I'm pretty certain that the EU will also provide humanitarian aid if needed.
Oh, and then this, if people on this board spent half the time and energy devising business plans as they did posting and promoting conspiracy theories, Greece would be better off. A lot better.
As a greek citizen, I can tell you that the austerity program applied on my country for 5 years now, has FAILED. Everyone living here knows it.
DeleteI don't know if "Domino" Dijsselbloem has caused or even planned yesterday's happenings, but I am sure of one thing; he doesn't seem capable enough to even realize the size of the destruction that he is gambling with, for the last 5 months. Whatever we pay him for his job, is money thrown out of the window... Just my view...
