The DEI battle might bring snap elections

Maximou [government] strikes back on Tsipras’s “120” plan

The government is decided to push forward on energy market liberalization, amid huge interest on the buyout of “small DEI” by major players from the international markets. Maximos Megaron [the Prime Minister] is orchestrating a counterattack, while Alexis Tsipras’s effort to become a deciding factor in political developments is voided.

They’re crippling the big DEI while selling off the small one

What’s going on with DEI is an ongoing crime. It’s not enough for them [the government] to sell of the most strategic sector of the greek economy. It’s not enough that new price hikes are at the gates. It’s not enough that they’re awarding a huge “dowry” to the –foreigner, by all signs – buyer of small DEI (they’re talking about 30% but they’re giving away 50% under the table).
At the same time, they’re castrating the big DEI so that it cannot compete with its smaller sibling. According to a clause that they buried in the bill, DEI is not allowed to implement “any form of aggressive commercial policies” for 6 months. What does that mean? That the “state owned” big DEI will not be able to sell in competitive prices. It will be forced to sell more expensive. With no advertising on top of that, it will not only be unable to reattract its old clients, it will be pushing its current ones out the door!
Small DEI, big scheme.

They said:

Stournaras 2/8/2010: The troika is asking us to sell DEI plants. This cannot happen
Samaras 12/5/2011: Selling off 17% of DEI is a mistake. It just shows panic to fill the coffers
Mitarakis 14/5/2011: The sale would only cover the equivalent of a few days’ deficit. It will not promote growth.
Venizelos 23/6/2011: Electricity is an essential social good, not a way to get people’s money
Samaras 22/4/2012: We cannot be killing off moms who work at DEI for a few breadcrumbs.
