Every day that goes by, the collapse of the delusions, which were decisively cultivated in recent years by members of the current government, becomes increasingly apparent. The cost of the effortless promises to everything, the outright rejection of all reforms, the so-called hard negotiation tactics is massive and it is gloriously revealed that there was a compete lack of preparation and an alternative plan.
This is highlighted by the auctions of primary residences, where the insistence on universal protection turned out to be futile. We can see it with the constant tax hikes since the infamous war against tax evasion is constantly and consistently on the brink. We can also see this in the bank recapitalization, where which are essentially being traded and under foreign control for little money, while the participation of the State – i.e. the taxpayers – is constantly reduced and undermined. We will likely witness something similar when the promises regarding the pension reform are broken and so forth…
Valuable time and a few tens of billions have been wasted, which the Greek people will be called to pay for due to the obsessions of some. Then end result is that those who believed the easy promises are rising up, just like we saw at Wednesday’s farmer rally in Athens.
The harsh reality is refuting all delusions and obsessions that remain. With the international climate become graver and our uncertainty being prolonged due to the European insecurity, it is high time the government recovered and rolled up its sleeves. The government should set aside the radical preaching and political intrigues and focus on the real problems of the country, society and economy, without turning a blind eye, hegemonic attitudes and so-called undermining conspiracies.
