Un buon sommario degli eventi qui:
Eurogruppo, ok agli aiuti alla Grecia. Fumata grigia sul taglio del debito
Non credo proprio che si parlerà neppure lontamente di elezioni anticipate in Grecia.
Non conviene a Tsipras, non conviene a Syriza (che perderebe con distacchi abissali), quindi non si faranno proprio.
Vedrete il solito magheggio nelle dichiarazioni di Tsakalotos e Tsipras che faranno credere al popolo di aver vinto nuovamente una grande battaglia contro i cattivi amici europei e creditori senza pietà...
A conferma di quanto previsto... ecco le primissime battute entusiaste...
Euclid Tsakalotos, Greece’s finance minister, told the FT that the deal was a “big step forward” compared with previous plans put forward by Athens’ international creditors.
Dutch finance minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who chaired today’s meeting in Luxembourg, said that: “We have achieved an agreement on all elements”
“I think this is a major step forward.”
European Commissioner for Economic and Monetary Affairs Pierre Moscovici sought to focus on the positive aspects of the deal. “Tonight, Greece can see the light at the end of its long tunnel of austerity,” he said. “From tonight, the watchwords are jobs, growth and investment.”
His comments were echoed by Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos who, in a separate press conference, said the deal provided greater clarity, for both citizens and investors, “more light at the end of the tunnel.”
A spokesperson for the European Central Bank, whose bond buying program Greece wants to join, described the Eurogroup agreement as “a first step towards securing debt sustainability.” However it remained unclear whether the deal was adequate to pave the way for the ECB to buy Greek bonds or not.
Speaking from Thessaloniki, where he met Israeli and Cypriot leaders for talks on energy cooperation, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras remarked to reporters, “The good guys win in the end.”
