Through
a recent article at the Efimerida ton Syntakton (Newspaper of
Editors), the former Minister of Finance of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis,
referred to Tsipras retreat against Greece's creditors and called him
to prepare seriously this time, to break the destructive continuous
agreements.
As
Varoufakis wrote among other things:
The night of
the Greek referendum, I tried hard to explain to the Greek PM that
the submission of Greece to the third memorandum was Schäuble's real
plan (not Grexit).
In reality,
there was no hope that the 3rd toxic "program" for Greece
would be rationalized progressively through the support of the
European Commission to Athens. Meaning, there was no hope that IMF's
austerity and anti-social measures could be soften. The fact that
Moscovici, Juncker, Sapin and others gave such promises, is no excuse
because the Greek government knew since May 2015 that these people
know how to tell lies, or, they are unable to keep their promises
when they don't lie.
Suddenly,
the Schäuble-IMF-ECB attacked on Greece, demanding exhausting
measures, while Merkel-Hollande-Commission didn't do anything.
Tsipras then retreated for one more time in order to "save"
Greece. This was Schäuble's plan.
With his
stance, Tsipras sank Podemos, made an approach with the collapsing
(ethically and politically) Social Democracy, disappointed the
progressive Europeans. And all these happened at the same time where
nationalism triumphs everywhere.
Tsipras
promises, one more time, that he will not retreat (this time!) by
legislating new austerity even after 2018. If he means it, I remind
him what we had agreed that is necessary and which - even today - is
the only thing that may prevent the worst things to come.
Prepare for
unilateral restructuring of Greek bonds held by the ECB, which must
be repaid in July (and after).
Prepare the
electronic system of transactions through Taxisnet which I had
designed, I had started building it and even announced it to the new
Minister of Finance, Euclid Tsakalotos, when I delivered the
Ministry.
Therefore,
if indeed the Greek PM means it this time that he will not retreat,
he should prepare for breaking the deal with the creditors, so that
to prevent it. The design of a parallel system for payments is ready
since 2014, as he knows.
