Latest info: A secret deal between the Greek government and troika for unlimited massive layoffs!

It appears that the Greek government has made a deal with troika to free massive layoffs, and therefore abolishing the 5% limit, bypassing the law through ministerial decision. According to the newspaper Avgi, the government with troika "have planned a Greek innovation, according to which the massive layoffs could be done without the Minister's approvement, but instead ... bypassing him. Which means that, if the Minister of Labour will not make a decision in short time, layoffs will be considered as granted". According to the article, the process will be passed as an EU community order which contains some typical commitments for the businesses. In this way, government will avoid the parliamentary process to change the law, something which could cause a "governmental accident". http://www.tvxs.gr/news/ellada/mystiki-symfonia-me-troika-gia-omadikes-apolyseis   We are now in a transition phase, where Nation-States s

The tactics of downgrading and degeneration

The Greek government, as an authentic representative of the neoliberal dictatorship in Greece, deliberately destruct public benefits and services by system failure The attack against workers in public sector is aiming the downgrading of public services to the people and shrinking further wage cost in public and private sectors for the profits of the big companies. Greece's lenders follow the orders of the big banks and multinational corporations imposing them to the Greek government, of which some executives are, anyway, faithful to the neoliberal doctrine. Tactics of downgrading followed excessively, resemble rating agencies, which gave the signal for the start of the economic war against Greece. Government exploits even the only way of workers' resistance, which is strikes and protests. Using the mainstream media which are fully committed to the memorandum policies, as they are fully controlled by the banks and big private interests, the government uses the

Η τακτική της υποβάθμισης και του εκφυλισμού

Η κυβέρνηση, ως γνήσιος εκπρόσωπος της νεοφιλελεύθερης δικτατορίας στην Ελλάδα, διαλύει εσκεμμένα τις δημόσιες παροχές και υπηρεσίες του system failure Η επίθεση κατά των εργαζομένων στο δημόσιο τομέα έχει σαν στόχο την υποβάθμιση της παροχής υπηρεσιών προς τους πολίτες και την περαιτέρω συρρίκνωση του μισθολογικού κόστους σε δημόσιο και ιδιωτικό τομέα, για χάρη των κερδών των μεγάλων εταιρειών. Οι δανειστές εκτελούν πιστά τις εντολές των τραπεζών και πολυεθνικών και τις επιβάλλουν στην Ελληνική κυβέρνηση, η οποία διαθέτει, ούτως ή άλλως, ανθρώπους που είναι πιστά προσηλωμένοι στο νεοφιλελεύθερο δόγμα. Η τακτική της υποβάθμισης ακολουθείται κατά κόρον, μιμούμενη τους οίκους αξιολόγησης, οι οποίοι έδωσαν το σύνθημα για την έναρξη του οικονομικού πολέμου και την επίθεση κατά της Ελλάδας. Η κυβέρνηση εκμεταλλεύεται ακόμα και την μοναδική οδό αντίστασης των εργαζομένων που είναι οι απεργίες και οι διαδηλώσεις. Χρησιμοποιώντας τα μεγάλα ιδιωτικά ΜΜΕ που είναι πλήρως ταγμέ

Greece: money and support only for the banks

The Greek banks have been bailed out with billions exceeding 90% of country's GDP since 2008. When citizens suffer from heavy taxes, unemployment strikes the Greek society, Greek economy faces deep recession and Greeks sink in poverty, it appears that Greek governments do have money, but only for the banks. Billions were given in bailouts, but no one knows where the money went and how they were exploited. The only thing that is certain is that they didn't go where they should go: to the real economy. by Vangelis Triantis In October 2008, the situation in Greek economy was far away from today's picture. The Greek economy was growing and the first signs of the global financial crisis appeared shyly. The then minister of finance, George Alogoskoufis, announced a bailout package of 28 billion euros for the banks in order to face competitiveness problems, in other words, to face liquidity problems and secure the deposits. Next to him was sitting the governor of

Troika lenders to Greece: what if you don't pay not a single pension in 2014? (!!!)

According to the newspaper "Eleftheros Typos", the troika lenders have sent an e-mail to the ministries of Labour and Finance, which is beyond imagination! Through this e-mail to the ministries, troika asks to estimate the amount that the insurance funds would save, in case that they would not pay not a single new pension in 2014! This means that, even as exercise, Troika is considering the possibility of freezing payments for pensions for an entire year - even if the pensioners have given, during their working years, every euro that they receive now - in order to reduce insurance funds deficits. It is worth to remember that the troika had dictated the closing of three state industries through an email in September without compensation for the fired personnel!

Η εισβολή των εταιρειών

Οι μεγάλες εταιρείες προσπαθούν να διαλύσουν κάθε κρατικό έλεγχο και πολιτικές δημοσίου συμφέροντος προκειμένου να αυξήσουν τα κέρδη τους σε συνθήκες πλήρους απορρύθμισης μέσω της συμφωνίας TTIP/TAFTA της Lori Wallach Σκεφτείτε τι θα γινόταν αν οι ξένες εταιρείες μπορούσαν να μηνύσουν άμεσα τις κυβερνήσεις, απαιτώντας αποζημιώσεις για απώλειες κερδών λόγω αυστηρής εργασιακής και περιβαλλοντικής νομοθεσίας. Μπορεί να ακούγεται παρατραβηγμένο, αλλά αυτή ήταν μια διάταξη που υπήρχε στην Πολυμερή Συμφωνία για τις Επενδύσεις (ΜΑΙ), μια προβλεπόμενη συνθήκη μέσω μυστικών διαπραγματεύσεων την χρονική περίοδο μεταξύ 1995 και 1997, από τις 29 χώρες-μέλη του ΟΟΣΑ εκείνη την εποχή. Τα νέα γι'αυτή τη συμφωνία βγήκαν έγκαιρα στην επιφάνεια και προκάλεσαν ένα πρωτόγνωρο κύμα διαδηλώσεων και εκτροχιασμού των διαπραγματεύσεων. Σήμερα η ατζέντα έχει επιστρέψει. Από τον περασμένο Ιούλιο, η Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση και οι Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες διαπραγματεύονται για το Υπερατλαντικό Εμπόριο

When Monti bowed to banksters

Α short story of how a country can be loaded with 40 billion euros additional debt in just one day In February 2012, the new Italian president, Mario Monti, meets with the president of one of the largest Italian banks in his office. The banker said to Monti, directly, that his bank issued private bonds of 40 billion euros total value. "Certainly Mr. President, as everyone knows our bank's difficult position, no one will buy them unless you give us Italian state surety". "You say that the Italian taxpayers must guarantee for your new huge debts?", said Monti with surprise for the audacity of the banker. "That's exactly what I'm saying, Mr. Monti", said the banker, confirming his audacity. "Through the state surety I will be able, even today, to deposit these bonds at the ECB and get fresh money. Otherwise, the bank will not open tomorrow, the country will fall in chaos and you government will collapse". This is r

Opposition MP hints big interests of multinational pharmaceuticals behind a recent amendment voted by Greek parliament

Panagiotis Kouroumplis, MP with the Leftist Opposition party SYRIZA in Greece, claimed that, the minister of health Adonis Georgiadis supported through a non-paper that multinational pharmaceutical companies would lose nearly 2.5 billion euros in case of voting in favor of SYRIZA's proposal. Specifically, the parliamentary representative of SYRIZA, speaking at the radio broadcast of the journalist Kostas Vaxevanis, claimed that, according to the non-paper the Greek minister of health supported that, if the parliament would vote SYRIZA's proposal, multinational pharmaceuticals would lose 2.5 billion euros since the prices of drugs in Greece affect prices in other 19 countries, as Greece is considered reference country. Kouroumplis also stated that the reduction of prices concerns actually only 50 to 100 drugs, not 6,000 as the minister of health claims. http://www.koutipandoras.gr/47759/%CE%BA%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%81%CE%BF%CF%85%CF%80%CE%BB%CE%AE%CF%82-%CF%83%CF%
