Oggi e domani in Grecia sciopero generale contro piano austerità

In concomitanza con il dibattito e il voto in Parlamento. Dall'esito dipenderà lo sblocco del prestito concesso da Fmi e Ue



Atene, 28 giu. (TMNews) - Voli cancellati, elettricità a singhiozzo, treni soppressi e banche chiuse per le 48 ore di sciopero generale in programma oggi e domani in Grecia, per protestare contro il piano di austerità all'esame in Parlamento.

Ieri, il premier George Papandreou ha fatto appello al "dovere patriottico" dei deputati, per esortarli a votare un piano di bilancio volto a risanare le finanze del Paese e a far fronte all'enorme debito.
I parlamentari voteranno domani il piano di austerità per il triennio 2012-15 e giovedì la sua legge d'attuazione. Ma le misure previste dal governo, aumenti delle tasse e privatizzazioni, non piacciano ai sindacati, che hanno indetto il quarto sciopero generale dall'inizio dell'anno.

Dal piano in discussione nel Parlamento greco dipende il via libera alla quinta tranche del prestito da 110 miliardi di euro (12 miliardi) concesso un anno fa alla Grecia dall'Unione europea e dal Fondo monetario internazionale.

Borse Europa attese in rialzo in scia Wall Street, tenuta Asia

martedì 28 giugno 2011 07:57






LONDRA, 28 giugno (Reuters) - L'azionario del Vecchio Continente è impostato per una partenza al rialzo stamani, nel solco dei guadagni di Wall Street e della tenuta delle piazze asiatiche: resta alto l'ottimismo alimentato dall'accordo francese per il rinnovo del debito greco che ha contribuito a mitigare i timori di un possibile default di Atene.
I bookmaker a Londra prevedono che il FTSE 100 .FTSE apra in rialzo di 20-30 punti, o dello 0,5%, il DAX .GDAXI di 36-45 punti (+0,6%) e il CAC-40 .FCHI di 17-24 punti (+0,3%).
Wall Street ha guadagnato terreno ieri dopo tre sedute di ribassi sull'ottimismo per la Grecia; rimbalzo per tecnologici dopo il recente sell-off e denaro anche sui bancari dopo che l'accordo raggiunto nel fine settimana prevede per gli istituti di credito un rafforzamento del patrimonio di vigilanza più contenuto del previsto. In tenuta gli indici asiatici mentre Tokyo si avvia ad archiviare la seduta in rialzo dello 0,6%.
Ieri l'indice FTSEurofirst 300 .FTEU3 ha terminato poco mosso, tenendo il supporto a 1.070 punti. L'indice di volatilità Euro STOXX 50 ha segnato tuttavia un rialzo del 3,8%, segnalando che gli investitori continuano ad essere nervosi.

Ieri seduta interlocutoria sulla Grecia in attesa del voto di domani, gli spread risultano in oscillazione stabile.
Il voto del Parlamento di Atene, per l'approvazione del piano di "Medio Termine", rimane sempre appeso a pochi voti di maggioranza, speriamo nel corso della giornata di saperne di più. In modo particolare sui "malpancisti" che tengono in scacco la maggioranza e rispetto a qualche deputato dell'opposizione che potrebbe votare a favore.
Non va troppo bene, invece, per Irlanda e Portogallo che continuano ad allargare sulla pressione speculativa dei mercati.
Spagna, Italia e Belgio si trovano sulla linea del fuoco in posizione precaria. Una soluzione positiva della crisi greca potrebbe far rientrare gli spread che si trovano sui massimi storici, con preoccupanti puntate in allargamento nel corso delle contrattazioni.

Grecia 1400 pb. (1399)
Irlanda 934 pb. (925)
Portogallo 904 pb. (871)
Spagna 281 pb. (286)
Italia 212 pb. (216)
Belgio 131 pb. (134)

Stark: No Aid Beyond July Unless Greece Implements Program



FRANKFURT (MNI) - Greece will only receive further financial assistance if it strictly implements austerity measures, European Central Bank Executive Board member Juergen Stark said in an interview with German daily Die Welt on Tuesday.
The ECB's chief economist, who recently warned that this is "the last chance" for Greece, said comments from Athens suggesting that reform efforts may be eased after the current program had caused irritation among EU officials.
"There is only this Plan A. Greece must implement the austerity program, the parliament will vote on further saving measures over the next few days," Stark said.
Should Greece fail to implement spending cuts and privatization plans, "I do not expect the international community to finance Greece beyond July," Stark said.
Despite some unhelpful comments from Athens "there is no reason to doubt the will of parliament to implement the austerity program," he said.
Stark was referring to comments from Greek finance minister Evangelos Venizelos, who suggested that the country may be able to ease efforts once the current program has been implemented.
"I do not know what motivated these comments, but in any case they caused irritations and it is clear that they do not reinforce trust in Greece," Stark said.
However, despite Stark's insistence that there is only a "plan A," European officials are reportedly preparing a plan B, in case the Greek parliament refuses to pass the new austerity measures.
"Be sure, we're working on it, we're not only thinking about it," an EU official told Agence France Presse. "The next step is not a default of Greece," the official added.
Other officials have publicly conceded that they must be ready to act in case Greece does not approve the measures.
Germany's Deputy Finance Minister Joerg Asmussen said Monday that while a rejection of the measures by Greek parliament was not the most likely outcome, "the eurozone and its financial sectors need to make preparations."
And Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, in a newspaper interview published over the weekend, said that if Greece rejected the measures, "we would then have to take care quickly so that the risk of contagion for the financial system and other Eurozone states will be contained."

Minister calls for extra tax on MPs



Politicians and top public officials who served after 1974 should pay levy, Ragousis says

Y

Politicians, MPs and high-ranking officials in the public sector who served in the post-1974 era should be asked to pay an extra tax to increase the feeling of fairness among taxpayers who have borne the brunt of the austerity measures, Transport Minister Yiannis Ragousis said on Monday.
“Given the new tax legislation, the government has an obligation to the Greek people to move forward with something that will give a real feeling of catharsis,” said Ragousis, who was interior minister until the recent Cabinet reshuffle.
The minister said that anyone who held a top public post in the era following the military dictatorship “should be subject to a real, effective and heavy one-off tax on the profits they made from assets or property.” Ragousis said that without such a measure, “society will not calm down.”
Opinion polls have shown that Greeks feel politicians and others who profited from their connections with the public sector have not contributed their fair share during the crisis.

Venizelos tables deal to plug hole

Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos announced on Monday that he would propose to Parliament’s competent committee certain adjustments to the midterm fiscal plan aimed at covering the loss of 600 million euros from the withdrawal of the receipt returns measure.
The deal with Greece’s creditors to plug that hole provides for «300 million euros from a more optimistic as well as realistic assessment of 2011 public revenues on the basis of the new measures announced and included in the plan, as well as 300 million from cuts in expenditure,» the ministry statement suggested, without becoming any more specific.
"The essential adjustment of the charts was conducted and we reached an agreement with the troika,» the Venizelos statement read, adding that «in essence nothing has changed in regard to the political content of the debate in Parliament."

PASOK tries to win round skeptics



As crucial vote looms, PM, Venizelos call on wavering MPs to show sense of duty

Prime Minister George Papandreou and Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos on Monday sought to win around skeptical Socialist MPs to back a crucial vote on the government’s new package of austerity measures - dubbed as the midterm fiscal program - that foreign creditors have said is a prerequisite for the release of the next tranche of rescue funding.
In a speech before Parliament - launching a debate on the measures that is to culminate with votes tomorrow on the midterm program and Thursday on a bill outlining the program’s implementation - Papandreou called on ruling party MPs to “do their duty” and pass the measures.
Pushing the bills through Parliament is the only way to save the country from bankruptcy and set it on the path to economic recovery, he said.
Approving the program “will bring to an end a chapter of uncertainty and open the door to a new, hopeful beginning.” It would “guarantee the stability of our country in the medium term so that we can pay salaries and pensions,” he added.
But the prerequisite is that MPs do their duty, he concluded. “It’s a tough duty but a necessary one, putting the good of the nation above narrow party political interests.”
Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos also did his best to impress upon MPs of all political affiliations that the austerity program was the better of two evils for Greece. The minister met with PASOK deputy for Kozani, Alexandros Athanassiadis, the only Socialist to have stated categorically that he will vote against the program. Venizelos also spoke by telephone with Thomas Robopoulos, who is also wavering ahead of the vote.
Panayiotis Kouroublis and Chryssa Arapoglou have indicated that they too have serious doubts about the program.
Meanwhile, rifts have also appeared in the ranks of conservative New Democracy ahead of the vote.
On Monday, ND deputy Elsa Papadimitriou indicated that she might go against the party line and vote for the measures, noting that now was a time “to put the good of the nation above party interests.”
Later in the day Venizelos rebuffed furious criticism of the midterm program by opposition MPs in Parliament, emphasizing that the measures might be “tough and even unfair” but that they were unavoidable. “We have to finally come to our senses and get serious,” he said.

EURO GOVT-Bund flat, trade volatile before Greek vote






LONDON, June 28 | Tue Jun 28, 2011 2:28am EDT

LONDON, June 28 (Reuters) - German debt was broadly steady on Tuesday as investors paused for breath after the previous day's sell-off, ahead of a Greek parliamentary vote on key austerity measures later this week.
The Bund future FGBLc1 was up 2 ticks at 126.92 as U.S. Treasuries crept higher in Asia, after settling down 55 ticks in the previous session.
News of a draft agreement between French banks and authorities on a voluntary rollover of maturing Greek bonds dampened appetite for safe-haven assets on Monday but investors were reluctant to take big positions ahead of the vote.
"It's all extremely volatile," said one trader in London, skeptical about the recent bout of optimism over Greece. "The underlying problems still remain. You still have a heavy debt load."
The Greek parliament this week has to approve a five-year austerity plan in order to secure more international funding and avoid a default.
