Accord falls ill
The agreement is bad for a large part of Tsipras’ Syriza own party. A windfall for Tsipras is that some opposition parties Tuesday already showed record that they will vote for the bailout. But whether that tonight will be enough for a majority in parliament, is highly questionable.
Varoufakis
Valavani’s former boss, former Minister Yanis Varoufakis, stepped Monday last week after more than five months on the minister post. He had both the European lenders as impossible in their own circles by his confrontational approach and refusal to give in to the other euro countries and other European institutions.

Well done to leave a sinking ship, instead of to your shoulders under the machine to the mess that they themselves are the cause, they walk away. It seems wise to totally not paying attention more to Greece, because who needs it …. we will all pay so.

Convince a Europhile well I wish you strength! The pure power-hungry group Euro will NEVER admit that it is hopeless and will remain! Ask Pechtold but Rutte, and you get an answer you can not do anything with it. With an adolescent, you can talk more intelligent than the average Europhile! Spending money on? You can buy nothing, simple!

Poor countries all of which are in the EU and delicious rich rulers who find all this such a fantastic thing. In Greece, the dying elderly people is outrageous. 500 get them and then everything with euro prices because that’s normal. Man man, I hope anyway so that people do stand up for their elders and not here as they prefer to dump

the country should we have to pay but from the EU and the additional costs. On a long term, we will be cheaper than if we continue to assist Greece with money that they can never repay.
