They are selling us out and buying us up

Rigged games: Angela Merkel is coming to Athens to… vote Samaras

The citizens of the country have for the past two days been watching a well orchestrated stage show with lead actors the markets, Angela Merkel and Greece’s lenders with the loyal cooperation with the Greek government. All those, in other words, who from 2010 until today have been selling us and buying us, first with the Memorandum and now with the rushed return to the markets which is not supported by a real improvement in the country’s economic situation but was done on the one hand to support the Samaras government and on the other in order for Merkel to be able to maintain in her country that the policies of austerity the she imposed upon Greece are paying off.

PM Antonis Samaras and Deputy PM Evangelos Venizelos expressed their satisfaction over the vote of confidence given by international investors, while Alexis Tsipras insisted on remaining in denial: “We are shooting ourselves in the foot,” the SYRIZA leader said.
