Zitat einer Freundin [NYC, USA]: <<”Take in the implications of the IMF’s secret report, leaked yesterday, into the dynamics of Greece’s debt. The IMF says – after the weeks of dislocation caused by the relentless bank run and the capital controls – that the austerity deal is pointless. Greece needs a massive debt write-off or large upfront transfers of taxpayers money from the rest of Europe. It needs a 30 year grace period in which it will stop repaying the loans.
Yet the entire deal done on Sunday night was premised on not a single cent worth of debt relief. Vague commitments to “reprofile” debt – pushing repayment times backwards and lowering the interest rates – were all Angela Merkel could be persuaded to do.
What this means is very simple: the third bailout agreed in principle on Sunday night is doomed to fail. First because the IMF cannot sign up to it without debt relief; second because, without debt relief it will collapse the Greek economy. This is even before you factor in issues like mass resistance to its details, or the total lack of enthusiasm for execution of the deal by the Syriza ministers who will have to do it.">>

Syriza-Mehrheit gegen den deal:
Syriza Leadership Reject 'Humiliating' EU Deal for Greece
<<“This proposal cannot be accepted by the members and the cadres of Syriza,” read a statement by a majority of the party's leadership. A majority of members of the central committee of the ruling Syriza party issued a bold statement rejecting the terms of the deal reached between the government of Alexis Tsipras and Greek creditors. In a statement posted on the website of the party's newspaper Avgi, 109 members of the 201-person leadership called on the party to immediately convene a meeting of the central committee. “The agreement signed with the 'institutions' was the outcome of threats of immediate economic strangulation and represents a new Memorandum imposing odious and humiliating conditions of tutelage that are destructive for our country and our people,” read the statement.>>

Condemn:
Syriza can’t just cave in. Europe’s elites want regime change in Greece
Seumas Milne
<<It’s now clear that Germany and Europe’s powers that be don’t just want the Greek government to bend the knee. They want regime change. Not by military force, of course – this operation is being directed from Berlin and Brussels, rather than Washington.
But that the German chancellor Angela Merkel and the troika of Greece’s European and International Monetary Fund creditors are out to remove the elected government in Athens
now seems beyond serious doubt. Everything they have done in recent weeks in relation to the leftist Syriza administraton, elected to turn the tide of austerity, appears designed to divide or discredit Alexis Tsipras’s government.>>
