Greece’s coalition partners cannot agree whether crisis is over – or not
Ok, now I am totally confused. Is the Greek crisis over or not? I am supposed to need to know that before the elections and go cast my vote accordingly. But the government makes my choice not easy. While the Prime Minister claims the crisis will be over in three months, his deputy claims the crisis was not over.
PM Antonis Samaras in Thessaloniki on 15. May 2014
“There will be no new memorandum and no new measures. There is no other downwards, there is only upwards
This year we will have development again for the first time and 550,000 new jobs will be created by 2018 and unemployment will be down by 10%.
With the new development plan Greece will fully recover by 2020 to the standard level as before the crisis, but not with borrowed money , with development and openness.
“A difficult period of great sacrifices by the Greek people closes and the new path of hope for the new Greece opens. We don’t turn back, there is no turning back.”
Deputy PM Evangelos Venizelos on 16. May 2014
“The crisis is not over.
I will go to the President of the Republic because political initiatives are needed in order to exit the memorandum [loan agreement]“
If they two coalition partners cannot agree, what should the voter think about the crisis exit other than checking with his wallet, his bills and his tax obligations?
