Destaco:

“If Greece wouldn’t have given Germany the idea that it was winning, Athens would have already come very close to an exit from the eurozone. The problem with that is that it is not part of the mandate Syriza has been given by Greek voters. Who have spoken out for an end to austerity, but within the existing euro framework.

Varoufakis et al. may long have concluded that such a set-up is simply not realistic, but they would still have to work up to a situation where, at some point, they can present this to the people. And that can only be done after they can convincingly show that Germany and Holland refuse to honor the democratically decided mandate Syriza brings to the table.”

“They would have to make absolutely sure that the other side gets the blame for the failed negotiations.”

“Perhaps Syriza is just playing for time, perhaps that is their no. 1 priority, just so they create the space to come up with a contingency plan in case they leave the euro. But also perhaps they already have such a plan, and what is happening now is simply part of that plan.”

Tenho vários amigos e amigas na Grécia. Tenho estado em contacto com alguns deles ao longo de todo este “roadshow”. Mesmo após o “”””acordo”””” são unânimes: Varoufakis continua a JOGAR e que o governo de Atenas afinal sempre quis sair do Euro mas não quer ficar com a responsabilidade: quer ser corrido e fazer-se de vítima perante o seu eleitorado (que deveria saber que o programa do Governo é incompatível com a permanência na moeda única, pelo menos no seu actual formato.

Todos ontem e hoje me têm dito algo do género: “this is far from over”
