The composition of the New Greek Government
Antonis Samaras, the leader of the center-right New Democracy party that won critical parliamentary elections on June 17, was sworn in as prime minister.
Together with Pasok party and the Democratic Left, a small party that won only 16 percent of the vote, Mr. Samaras forms a New Government.
Mr. Samaras had supported the bailout. After the May elections, in which New Democracy and Pasok suffered a drubbing while Syriza made big gains, Mr. Samaras has said he will seek to soften the deal’s terms; but soon, Mr. Samaras will be forced to make massive spending cuts to carry out the country’s “obligations” according to the Memorandum…
Syriza party stated it will fight if the new government does not repudiate the most onerous terms of Greece’s loan deals.
Meanwhile, the departmental finance minister George Zanias will represent Greece at the meeting of Eurogroup on Thursday, and Ecofin on Friday. Mr. Zanias will ask the Finance Ministers of the Euro zone for a time extension of two years to reduce the deficit (until 2016).
Prime Minister Antonis Samaras
Ministries:
Ministry of Interior
Minister: Euripides Stylianidis
Undersecretary: Charalambos Athanassiou (former president of the Judges Association)
Greece Should Leave Euro to Rebuild Economy, says Martin Feldstein
Martin Stuart Feldstein (George F. Baker Professor of Economics at Harvard and also president emeritus of the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) ) talked about the prospects of a Greek euro exit in an interview at Bloomberg.
He expressed the opinion that there is no specific formula that the countries can follow in order to solve their economic problems. Each country is different... and in the case of Greece and there is no solution but to exit the euro zone since the country's economy is in terrible situation that can not be fixed...
“Well, I think it would create chaos, it would create problems” says Mr. Feldstein and he adds,
“It would be better for Greece to be able to adopt a new currency, a drachma, allow the currency to fall as currencies did in East Asia and in Latin America; that would give a significant boost to growth in Greece as Greeks shift their spending to domestically produce goods and services.”
Watch the video below:
Lagarde to Greeks: “It’s payback time… don’t expect sympathy!”
In her interview for "the Guardian" Christine Lagarde states clearly that the IMF has no intention of softening the terms of the austerity package.
The managing director of the IMF believes that the Greek parents have to take responsibility if their children are being affected by the austerity program.
"Parents have to pay their tax," she says.
Angela Merkel: “We want to make sure nobody else will want the Memorandum”
According to Wall Street Journal, German Chancellor Angela Merkel admitted that the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was intentionally so hard.
When George Papandreou, the former Greek premier who negotiated the original bailout (2010) he asked Angela Merkel for gentler conditions in the memorandum. Angela Merkel replied that the aid program must be very hard (!): "We want to make sure nobody else will want this..." she said.
After Greece's May 6 elections results, more elections are likely in June, with no guarantee that a stable government will emerge. Greece's growing turmoil is the culmination of a radical austerity experiment and a botched economic overhaul that pushed the Greek nation into a social and political breakdown. It is obvious that forcing deep austerity on Greek people won't save the euro...
