| [The] taxpayers in the other euro area countries, together with the IMF, had to step into the role of economic lifeguards. ( |
“Benevolent Europe/IMF” |
| The consequence is that if Greece – as demanded by the new head of government – has to give up a solid share of public debt, it is the taxpayers in the other eurozone countries who will bear the loss. As Germany is the largest economy in the eurozone, the German taxpayers will have to bear the greatest loss. ( |
“European/German taxpayers damaged by Greece” |
| No one can honestly speak of European cooperation and, in the same breath, demand that other countries pay for years of Greek over-consumption and corruption. The vast majority of Europeans are thoroughly tired of Greece and the Greeks’ twisted perception of reality. If the Greeks are to regain respect, a prerequisite is that they honour all agreements made. ( |
“Irresponsible Greeks” risking “European” interests |
| Tsipras belongs to the communist-left national tradition of Greece. His coalition with the right-wing so-called Independent Greeks is logical. The most extreme forces of the Civil War find each other in their rejection of a modern, responsible society. ( |
The Syriza party is extreme and equated to the far right |
| Here, the religious difference between Greece and Europe is important […] The Orthodox churches are not based on theology but on the narratives of the village. Just like Islam, they are part of the mysteries of the Orient. Their clergy is often poorly educated, and it is traditionally available to the state: the Sultanate of Istanbul, Tsarist, Communist and Putinist Russia, Ceausescu's Romania, Greece under the Colonels and now under Tsipras. Intellectual coolness and critical sense are rare goods. ( |
Greece is similar to Eastern European and Asian states |
| The Greeks face an economic disaster if the result of Sunday's parliamentary elections is that Greece must leave the euro […] “A Greek euro exodus will mean a 55 per cent fall in living standards, and will hit the lowest income groups particularly hard. The fall in living standards is due to a sharp fall in the value of a new currency of 65 per cent; in nominal value, an even deeper recession of 22 per cent; in fixed prices on top of an economic downturn of 14 per cent. In the period from 2009–11 and an even higher unemployment rate than today” notes Paul Mylonas, chief economist of the National Bank of Greece, which is Greece's largest privately owned bank. He acknowledges that it is very difficult to make just about exact impact calculations over a Greek goodbye to the euro, as the political response pattern is in fact impossible to predict, and it is not clear what Greece's public debt will look like after the exit of the euro.
