As it would seem, a solution for the problem of the Greek economy will be provided on the 24th of April.

The partners announced on Tuesday that there is not enough time for decisions, since the Greek side is not ready and cannot present a comprehensive list of reforms, as promised.

In one respect the new delay in coming to decision on the Greek matter reveals the great distance between the Greek government and its partners and creditors, which will not allow the completion of the review.

As we all know, without the review, no further funds can be paid out to Greece.

Indicatively, they have postponed the discussion for the 11th of May, when the Eurogroup is scheduled to convene.

Everything suggests that by then there will not new funding and the Greek state will have to survive on its own strength.

This means that the Greek economy will continue living in a state of increasing insecurity, at the risk of falling victim to random, unpredictable events.

It is unfortunate that the prolonged financial insecurity is coupled by other developments that are tied in to the country’s security.

The escalation of the wave of migration from the Middle East, which is fueled by the sympathy invitation extended to all the persecuted by the obsessive new government, is reinforcing the atmosphere of concern; more so when disruptive attitudes dominate in matters related to the implementation of law and order.

The country seems to be missing the doctrine of domestic security which it maintained for years, allowing outbreaks of violence to go unattended.

The financial crisis, migration and the lack of domestic security can constitute an explosive mix, capable of literally blowing up the country.

The government must realize the critical nature of the circumstances and start closing fronts, rather than open new ones. There is no time left. From here on the clock starts ticking.
