Yes, calling us all terrorists and criminals will certainly encourage the Europeans in the other 18 countries to vote to give Greece more money.
But depending on the vote, he will no longer be there tomorrow. But who knows who comes after him?
I mean, they elected him and Tsirpas. If things get worse, who will be next?
He didn't call YOU terrorist but those bureaucrats in European Commission,International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank! and YES I agree they are terrorists and criminals( not as bad as ISIS but still...). Sorry but that's my opinion and don't have time and energy to explain why I think they're high class criminals
Best,
Alex
...exactly - eu bureaucrats are terrorists - no doubt about that... - cobalt - you are good photographer, nice girl - with good will - but you are vary naive...

If they get the drachme back, they can devalue it or print as much money as they like.
Isn't this part of chinas success? Keeping their currency low so the world keeps buying their products and their already low wages are even cheaper than they should be so they keep all the jobs?
I wonder if bulgaria or lithuania or poland held a referendum, to ask if they should send greece more money, would the greeks accept the democratic decisions of other european countries?
The UK doesn't have the euro because they decided it didn't work for them.
However, the biggest problem is the lack of a basically functioning state.
If the greeks themselves don't trust their own banks and remove all their money, why should the rest of the World loan them money?
If the greeks don't trust their state and don't pay their taxes, why should other countries tax money go there?
Why don't the greek billionaire's step up with humanitarian work and Money for their countrymen like many superrich do in the US?
Why doesn't the goverment propose a flat 35% special tax for emergencies on all foreign accounts? The way we in Germany have been paying to integrate east Germany since unification?
Why not confiscate money from the greek church that doesn't pay tax and has accumulated wealth from the greeks for centuries...etc...
Even Russia doesn't seem to be interested in getting financially involved and they could easily help by lifting sanctions on greek products like apricots, cheese and olive Oli. Russia is a huge market for greece, it would really help them and be real money from real business, not another loan.
There is a lot they can do and focus on instead of asking for money from outsiders and then of course hoping that all these loans will be cancelled later.
Nobody believes they have any intention of paying anything they get now back.
But the greek people voted for them and all the previous governments, so until there is a genuine people's movement to fight corruption nothing will change.
I mean, they could all start by putting their money back into their banks and only take out what they really need.
Show solidarity with your own country and put your money into it.
In south korea people sold their gold and their jewelry to help their country. You can always do things yourself if you are really proud and love your community.
Well,I'm afraid it's not that simple!
Do rich people need poor people in order to remain rich?
In a globalised world, economies are interdependent. A trade surplus in an exporting country implies a trade deficit in an importing one, if, as was the case with Greece and the rest of the Eurozone, the exporting countries adopt policies to diminish the economic potential of their rivals. Economic crises therefore require collective solutions rather than the beggar-my-neighbour policies Germany and the Troika are opting for at present.
At the moment the Troika is actively preventing Greece from sorting out its economy by enforcing austerity, which is having a negative effect on growth rates. Because Greece doesnt have its own central bank it cant use monetary policy to escape recession, so what the government has been asking for in negotiations with the Troika is debt relief which would allow it to invest in economic growth. But the Eurozone as a whole has rejected these standard Keynesian policies in favour of harsh cuts to investment and public services.
This idea ignores the structural reasons for Greeces borrowing. All countries borrow money to invest in their economies and compete in the world economy. By 2009 the smaller Eurozone economies Greece, Portugal, Ireland, Spain were all burdened with massive debts because their borrowing failed to make them more competitive. As Costas Lapavitsas has shown, the reason for this is simple: the German government froze wages so as to out-compete countries like Greece. Given its superior economic and technological starting point, Germany was always going to win if its wages were low enough. Greece therefore built up a big trade deficit which was proportional to the German trade surplus. So Greek borrowing was actively encouraged by Germany which is now demanding Greece shoulder the blame for what was a failure of the entire Eurozone.
For someone to be RICH, someone else MUST be POOR. Simple as that
Great analysis by fritz - some people here are talking ideologically, defending moves of the European Union - those are brainwashed by decades of poor western propaganda , and there is no help. - btw - two Nobel prize winners in economy - P. Krugman and J.Stiglic - just recommended voting OXI - NO on Greek referendum...

... what is happening in Portugal politic - is there some party like Syriza or Podemos in Spain...?
Oh... Portugal is much under control of the two right wing Mafias (pseudo-Social-Democrats and pseudo-Socialists) and their extreme-right clutch (Popular Party).
We'll have elections around September/October and at this moment it seems that everything will for sure continue to be the same because the portuguese are basically ceasing to vote instead choosing other options. So, the ones that put Portugal in this situation will be the ones in charge to get us out... LOL
Plus, the hundreds of thousands emigrating, who would be the ones with most reasons to protest in the urns, won't vote also because it's not possible to them.
There's a new party, with a high-profile leader (ex-president of the Lawyer Order), but the campaign and defamation has already started. The main parties seemed to be able to introduce trojan horses inside the new party, and now are starting to leave with the most atrocious accusations creating fear about him. This party and candidate would be placed in the center.
Other people are afraid to go into politics since the state is undermined by the PS / PSD / PP moles.
As for the other parties in the parliament, they don't stand a chance.
The Portuguese Comunist Party has a lot of votes in the municipal elections (and the only one not plagued by corruption cases) but people don't vote them for the government. Some people in Portugal still fear them to be cannibals of babies, and that they would mass murder old people with poisonous injections behind the ear (I KID YOU NOT AT ALL) after the campaigns made by the church and right wing parties after the revolution. Those that do not believe in that stayed with a bad feeling.
And the Left Bloc has been suffering from internal conflicts and it's in a downward spiral for years now with some of their leaders leaving and creating new parties in the Line of the Podemos.
In last case there will be a central bloc with all the parties responsible for the disaster of the last 40 years just to keep power.
... IF Podemos wins next elections in Spain - then all Mediterranean nations will follow - maybe that will bring some changes to Portugal political scene...

Balance of Trade between Portugal and the Countries of the European Union:
1985: +(plus) 10 million euros
1991: -(MINUS) 6 BILLION euros
2010: -(MINUS) 16 BILLION euros
Between these dates the EU:
- restricted the portuguese agriculture with severe quotas and subsidies to those stopping the production (with the restrictive quotas many hardly had alternatives to accept the subsidies)
- restricted the portuguese fishing industry with severe quotas and subsidies to those who dismantled the boats (the quotas and the opening of the portuguese sea to powerful foreign fishing fleets that depleted the quotas quickly made living from fishing impossible to many)
- the dismantling of the industry with the consecutive opening of the borders to products from China, India, etc., dropping the custom taxes and making an industry that had to meet the European work conditions standard impossible to sustain.
- the introduction of the Euro currency that made impossible for portuguese economy to compete since the country no longer had the flexibility of the national currency
- the imposed savage privatization of the strategic sectors which gave a boost to the funds of the state and making possible to mascarade the real situation of the portuguese economy and debt, but led to huge medium and long term loss of revenue to the state. Profitable companies no longer sent their profits to the state but to privates.
- the state (central and local) started to hire a large number of people to cope with the unemployment
- with the planed destruction of the productive sectors of the economy, the state had to fund itself, and the European Bankers started to lend money to Portugal which obviously had to be repaid with interests.
- This way, the puppet masters of this fake union won in three ways. They killed the potential competition that another state could bring to their products, they found a new market to sell their products including the ones we didn't need to import a few years ago, and started to profit from the loans on the public debt.
The EU knew all this since it was in the back giving orders to the corrupt portuguese politicians.
And if they knew about the Greeks cooking the books, they had no doubts about the real situation of the portuguese economy and the unsustainability to keep a low debt in a country that stopped producing!
They knew this was going to happen sooner or latter, and when Portugal defaults (real chances) they will lose some money which will be nevertheless compensated by the profits made along decades
... what is happening in Portugal politic - is there some party like Syriza or Podemos in Spain...?

Even if the whole Greek debt is erased, they will still have to borrow again, because they spend more than they produce.

4 - people living in greece, portugal, etc ... should just plan to migrate elsewhere as soon as possible, the world is so big, plenty of better places both in the West and the East ... the EU can scr-ew us only as long as we live there, just leave for greener pastures and don't look back.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_European_countries_by_average_wage
That map is really useful, thank you. I think a copy of it should be printed and sent to every household in Greece before their referendum.
So many other countries in Europe are really poor
What's happened to "Greeks are better off than Germans" here? Greeks are better off than a whole bunch of former Warsaw Pact countries (which Greece was never part of) but are just about the poorest of the previous intake of EU countries. Why not include Vietnam and Cambodia, also previously Communist states? If German wages were slashed by 50% would you be pointing out how much better off Germans are than Estonians or Slovenes and implying that they have nothing to complain about? And if 30% of Germans were thrown out of work and denied unemployment benefit, would you still maintain they were better off than their fellow Europeans?
If you are very young I am sorry but this is funniest (read:stupidest) thing I read here.
Are Cambodia and Vietnam taking their tax money to help Greece or does it goes for Slovenia, Slovakia, Croatia and others?
Germans spend their money, Greece is spending others money. No more.
Referendum can be simplified to something like this:
a) we still want to live like drunk millionaire spending poorer people money we haven't earned.
b) We need to settle down, live modestly and spending money we earned.

...this is a beginning of the end of EU - Tsipras is a historical figure - true hero!...
if you are not joking i would like to say that he would be a hero if he had any courage at least political kind of courage, and he was elected to have some. Greece choose him to do what he is supposed to do now, and what he does, he make referendum to wash his hands of any responsibility.
...I am very serious - this is a critical moment for the Greek people - a referendum is the right thing...

He is not a hero but a poker player who plays a game with other people's money.
You "hero" doesn't even has the guts to make a decision. When EU calls his bluff, he hides behind a referendum.

....They could have established this as an easy and reliable income stream many years ago.
But you need to remember who was running the place for almost all those year - it was the very people the Troika wish were running it now. The bunch who "lost" the Lagarde List of Greeks with big Swiss accounts, and then prosecuted and persecuted a journalist for daring to publish it after it was leaked to him. Syriza will probably turn out no better - I'm no fan of the hard left - but it's unfair to throw the sins of their opponents in their faces.
Syriza is still not hard left - but they starting to be... these days ...

If Jon at SS is really a billionaire, then I'm guessing that he alone has made more money than all the contributors to SS put together. It doesn't seem fair, but the truth is that just about any of us could have done what he did back in the beginning of microstock if we had the foresight, energy, and business savvy. But we didn't. He did and he gets the big payout. Neither whining about it nor wishing for a Communist workers paradise is an attractive alternative IMHO.
If we don't like it, we can stop contributing, which in fact is what I personally have done. We're not slaves.
