Despite the nightly protests in Athens, during which the police had to use tear gas, the country’s parliament approved the program of reforms, to carry out which the Greeks demanded international lenders. Now the problem is – in the small countries of the EU who do not want to pay for Greek pensions.
On Thursday night the Greek parliament voted for “urgent measures to negotiate and conclude an agreement with the European support mechanism (ESM)”. Their acceptance is a prerequisite for the launch of a new program of assistance for the rescue of the economy and the resumption of lending to Greek banks, which continue to be on time, “vacation” because they lack liquidity. In response, as reported by sources in the European Commission, the Council of Finance Ministers of the euro area (so-called Eurogroup) approved granting Greece a bridge loan in the amount of about 7 billion euros.
The Greek left-wing and right-wing radicals in Athens actively protested against the agreement the terms “European support mechanism.” They overturned and burned cars and broke into the parliament building to personally witness their deputies disrespect. Understand mood opponents agreement with creditors can be: recently they thought that voting in a referendum initiated by the Government of Alexis Tsipras, against the return of Greece debt neighbors in the EU and the IMF on the terms of the lenders. However, Germany and some other countries have taken a tough stance, and the Greek authorities have conceded. Protesters received a “dose” of tear gas blows from the police and were forced to come to terms with what is happening.
However, the Greeks opposed the return of more than 300 billion debt and new borrowing by about 85 billion euros, there is still hope. Within the EU, many politicians and economists do not believe that the current Greek Government is willing and able to fulfill their obligations. And then, according to one of the main “grekoskeptikov” – German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble, again raise the question of the expulsion of Athens from the Eurozone, depriving them of the right to print and use the euro common currency in the internal calculations.
And so One thinks not only Schaeuble. Most of the smaller European countries, primarily outside the euro area, are also dissatisfied with the continuation of lending to the Greek economy, because they believe that by doing so they are out of their funds to pay pensions somewhere on the Rhodes or Athens. And despite the fact that the Slovak and Latvian pensioners live much worse than the Greek. This group of skeptics includes Estonia and a few small countries, including Western Europe, although there is a standard of living is much higher.
The loudest, however, resent those who least of all loans the Greek economy. At the head of this group of Britain, which does not want to participate in the provision of temporary Athens 7-billion loan. Indignant, and the Czech Republic, which is not included and is not going in the near future to join the euro zone and practically does not participate in lending to Greece. According to the second largest personal wealth a person in the Czech Republic, Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister Andrei Babishov, the best solution – the exit of Greece from the euro zone and the partial cancellation of its debt. “The decision of the EU – a political, not pragmatic,” – he said.
Babishov generally opposed to the use of European financial aid to Athens stabilization mechanism (EFSM), which will allow the Greeks “perekantovatsya” until the first part (about 40-50 billion euros) from the main 80-billion loan. However, he mentioned that he would support unless “temporary” use of EFSM for the Greeks, as on Thursday and agreed Babishov colleagues. In turn, the Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka reiterated that his country refuses to guarantee credible European loan to Greece and do not give their part to Athens no direct loans.
This is the first revolt against the policy to continue lending to Greece. Surely there will be new ones. Especially if the Greeks, it is very likely not be able or willing to fully implement its commitments. Great all likelihood that the current prime minister, Alexis Tsipras will be forced under public pressure to resign. And then the whole saga of the new credit agreement and the conditions of his release will start again. Unless, of course, “grekoskeptiki” will not achieve a final and irrevocable decision to exclude Greece from the eurozone. That, in turn, could lead to tremendous conflict within the EU up to the attempts to exit from the European Union the most skeptical of him.
