- Welcomes the parliament vote
- Greece needs a long-term effort
- Will continue solidarity with Greece, condemms unacceptable violence which doesn’t reflect the vast majority of Greek people
- Greek program will be very demanding, must fully implement the 2nd program
- Greece has lived beyond its means
- Default would have devastating consequences, Greece must show political determination as well
This guy has his head in the sand, just like the rest of the EU “leaders”.
His having a laugh if he thinks the vast majority of people in Greece are happy with the new austerity plans.
Apparently Mr. Market has its doubts about this solution that has been accepted by the Greek parliament.
People’s determination? Did he see the protests at all?
“Greece has lived beyond its means”.
So slow down you Greece People. Look at your leaders like Nicolas Sarkozy. He only use 10,000 Pounds per day for food and his one day travel trips usually don’t cost more than 275,000 Pounds. And he can do with only 121 cars. So there you have it. Cut your extravagant living down to a level like Sarkozy and you will do much better. Got it?

They should save, reinterventing their state, stay peaceful and generate more growth. This is absurd. It’s time for the only right thing: send Greece to an ordently Insolvency
And what we say we in Slovakia – I like cop earning 650 EUR …. I have to go on strike, at least that I want to live like the Greeks.
What they should do is start paying their taxes properly. A problem that is endemic in the other countries in trouble, Spain, Portugal & Italy.
agree to HMR. Greece have a huge problem on the imcoming side .. espeacially the taxes!
As i live and work in Greece as an expat i can attest to the following .
Politicians need to let go of their hiring public servants to secure votes .
Tapping more taxes and imposing more measures while there is no growth will not produce the results .
The public sector needs to be halved and reach at least the number the Troika has suggested . This has not happened due to the unwilling politicians to let go of their client base
A long term program that secures a fair taxation system must be put to work . For example at the moment people that are working in the private sector pay their tax before the get their wage monthly .These same peiople are protesting and saying taxation needs to reach the rest …self employed doctors lawyers who declare whatever they want as income .
Thats the only way the state will get its taxes show an increased revenue pay less on public servants and be able to put in place growth strategies for tourism and energy which are the only 2 sectors that can seriously produce a surplus for the future .
The above are just a few thoughts …
