Over the past few days our creditors and partners are demonstrating a haughtiness of political cynicism.

They are clearly playing a hard political game, full of pretext and obvious goals.

Clearly they are not making such a fuss, nor are they pressing to the point of extortion for the fiscal measures worth 500 million euros, when endless measures have been imposed in the past few years in Greece worth nearly 50 billion euros.

Nor is the depreciation towards the Prime Minister Antonis Samaras irrelevant to their political pursuits.

Irrespective of what one may charge the Prime Minister with, one cannot ignore the effort and political cost he assumed all these years.

Their overall stance suggests that for some reasons they have written off the government and want to bring the main opposition closer to them.

The cynicism of the troika employees and supervisors is therefore a given.

One of them recently expressed it, when he was asked by one of our guys if they are not concerned about what happens next and he responded “why should we be concerned?” when in 2011 Samaras said the same things that Tsipras says now that he is rising to power – and he did the opposite. Tsipras will “get the message” in time and quickly change his tune.

This is more of less the perception our creditors and partners have for Greek politics and which informs they way they approach it.

This means that so long as Greek politics does not develop an exit plan from the crisis capable of sweeping away and mobilizing the Greek people, we will never prosper.

So long as Greek politics continues to depend on the kindness of strangers then it cannot expect anything other than extortion, humiliation and absurd demands.

There is only one solution for the Greek political system: To tell the whole truth to the people, to accurately describe the country’s position in the world, to set specific national targets for the next decade and to ask for the participation and support of the greater majority of the Greek people.

At present, we can have only such clear options.

The difference is that the great national choices require other skills from the people and parties and more importantly, they necessitate a restoration of trust, moral superiority and above all, devotion to the effort and national goal of recovering and reconstructing the country.
