George Papandreou risks sparking class war over austerity cuts


Amid mounting hostility over austerity measures that last week sparked some of the ugliest scenes of violence since the eruption of Europe's debt-crisis in Athens, he appealed for calm in navigating what he has increasingly come to call a "state of war".
"These are critical times for Greece," said Kostas Panagopoulos, a political analyst. "It is going through its worst period in 30 years."
An attack in broad daylight on Kostas Hadzidakis, a minister in the former conservative government, has highlighted fears that Greeks are at a tipping point. He was set upon as he walked through Athens during one of the capital's biggest ever anti-austerity demonstrations. Protesters were seen shouting "thieves, thieves" and "let the parliament burn" as they punched him in the face, threw stones at him and tried to attack him with sticks.
Official unemployment reached a record high of 12.4% last week, further proof that seven months after its €110bn bailout by the EU and IMF the recession-hit country is nowhere near exiting its worst economic crisis since the second world war. "There's an invisible red line of what Greeks are prepared to tolerate in terms of sacrifices, and I think we are crossing it," said Aliki Mouriki, a sociologist. "The assault on Hadzidakis by middle-aged men who didn't even bother to hide their faces reflects the desperation and anger of people who would normally never have done such a thing."
Under pressure to make reforms to ensure the next instalment of emergency international aid, the government has passed legislation overhauling wage agreements, eradicating labour laws and streamlining the public sector. Opposition among socialist MPs has mounted as rights fought for over decades have been stripped away. Increasingly the 58-year-old Papandreou, a moderniser by nature, has faced a battle from within his own party as the conviction grows that Greece has lost its sovereignty as international creditors call the shots.
"Greece has become the guinea pig of Europe in terms of cuts and sacrifices enforced on its people," said Stathis Anestis of the General Confederation of Greek Workers, the country's biggest union.
In sharp contrast to those who reside in opulent villas on the outskirts of Athens, more than two million Greeks, a fifth of the population, now live below the poverty line. Observers fear that, with a growing number being forced to survive on handouts from charities and the Orthodox Church, class warfare is brewing. Graffiti daubed across central Athens have recently incited Greeks to "eat the rich" and "make us their crisis". Attacks on symbols of wealth, especially luxury cars, have risen.
Although the IMF approved an extra €2.5bn loan on Friday, few believe Greece will escape more measures as the battle to avert bankruptcy and rein in its mammoth public debt deepens.
"Greeks need to hear that their sacrifices are leading somewhere, that there is something better at the end of the road," said Panagopoulos. "The government has to offer hope over the next three months, otherwise it will lose the game."

La situazione sociale è alquanto difficile, come sempre del resto in una crisi come quella ellenica ma non mi è chiaro il perché dei 3 mesi... vi è qualche scadenza che al momento non ricordo? O si tratta della solita trimestrale?

La situazione interna è sempre sotto controllo, le agitazioni proseguono in vista del voto definitivo in Parlamento sulle nuove norme che regoleranno il "lavoro": lo sciopero generale ha paralizzato la Grecia, ma le manifestazioni di piazza sono risultate poco partecipate.

I tre mesi che accenna il Guardian saranno i soliti appuntamenti della "Troika" dove si valuteranno gli esiti del programma per rilasciare le tranche del finanziamento.
Ieri il FMI si è espresso in maniera elogiativa verso l'esecutivo ellenico.

Grecia: incidenti per discarica Keratea

Ancora tensione e scontri polizia-residenti, fermate due persone

19 dicembre, 14:36



(ANSA) - ATENE, 19 DIC - Per l'ottavo giorno consecutivo sono continuati ieri notte gli incidenti fra polizia e residenti di Keratea, a sudest di Atene, che si oppongono alla costruzione in atto di una grande discarica.
Gli incidenti hanno portato al fermo di due persone, ma sono meno gravi di quelli dei giorni scorsi che avevano visto una vera battaglia fra cittadini e forze dell'ordine.
La popolazione sostiene che non sono state seguite le normali procedure e che la discarica sorge vicino ad un sito archeologico.

PM hails EU summit result


Prime Minister George Papandreou has welcomed the results of the European Union summit and the decisions taken for a permanent European stability mechanism. In statements after the end of the EU leaders' summit on Friday night, Papandreou said that such a mechanism would ensure the fiscal stability of the entire eurozone, speeding up structural reforms and boosting growth.

He also welcomed the decisions taken as a "first step" toward a more powerful economic governance of the EU.

"We started out 14 months ago as a newly elected government in exceptionally difficult conditions and, at a very rapid rate, we diagnosed the extent of the crisis, made proposals, fought for European policies and at the same time struggled to restore our credibility and to strengthen Greece's voice," the Greek premier said in a statement.

He said the systematic effort had paid off and Greece was once more seen as credible by its European partners.

Greece: Restructuring debt would do more harm than good - finmin


Michael Shields VIENNA - 20.12.2010


Restructuring Greece's debt would do more harm than good, its finance minister told an Austrian newspaper.
George Papaconstantinou also warned that relatively stable countries like Germany and Austria could end up paying higher borrowing costs if the European Union did not pull together to address the euro zone's debt issues.
"Restructuring our debt would have negative consequences for our citizens and banks," Der Standard quoted him as saying in an interview published on Friday.
"That would shake the other periphery counties. The costs would be far higher than the possible advantages."
Asked about concerns that issuing joint sovereign debt by euro zone members would boost borrowing costs for countries like Germany and Austria, he said: "We will soon see that debt spreads for secure counties like Germany and Austria will rise as well if the tensions on the periphery of Europe and thus in the euro zone continue. The criticism misses the decisive point."

Europe pays tribute to 'father of the euro' Padoa-Schioppa


(AFP)


ATHENS — European leaders on Sunday paid tribute to Italy's former economy minister Tommaso Padoa-Schioppa, a founding father of the euro who had been acting as adviser to the Greek government.

Padoa-Schioppa was dining with friends in a palace in the centre of Rome late Saturday when he collapsed with heart failure and died in hospital shortly afterwards. He was 70.

Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou said Padoa-Schioppa "wanted in a difficult period for Greece to show his solidarity".

The premier added in a statement that the Italian was one of the first who believed in Greece's recovery from bankruptcy earlier this year.

"In this effort, he was a real Greek," he added.

"He knew that the crisis that began in Greece had European dimensions and contributed to the proposals Greece made at the last European summit to deal with a general economic crisis," Papandreou said.

European Council President Herman van Rompuy praised the economist as "a driving force in the integration of Europe and the creation of the euro", the Belgian said in a statement.

Jose Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission, said Padoa-Schioppa was "a great European who was one of the fathers of the euro".

He was "an expert and cultivated economist who in his role as member of the European Central Bank Executive Board contributed, with professionalism and dedication and in a decisive manner, for the euro to become a reality," Barroso said in a separate statement.

Since mid-2010 the eminent Italian economist had been advising the Greek government headed by Papandreou on how to escape the euro crisis. He recently became a member of Italian automaker Fiat's board of governors.

After being a director of the European Central Bank from 1998 to 2005, he became Italian minister of economy and finance from 2006 to 2008 under the centre-left government of Romano Prodi.

La ferma, abituale, smentita contro ogni possibilità di ristrutturazione del debito pubblico.


Quando si smetnisce troppo poi di solito le cose accadono, spriamo che non sia il caso anche questa volta. In ogni caso sono d'accordo che una ristrutturazione del debito greco porterebbe solo vantaggi a chi da tempo sta attaccando l'europa. Se cade una pedina inizia il domino...

In ogni caso grazie Tommy per la costanza e la determinazione con cui ci aggiorni della situazione.

E' vero, a volte le tante smentite, diventano poi una conferma.
Però, come più volte detto, una ristrutturazione del debito greco non sarebbe vantaggioso per gli stessi greci: Papaconstantinou l'ha capito da tempo ...
Le dinamiche su cui ci muoviamo sono spesso irrazionali, quindi tutto è possibile.
