The German proposal of a “state commissioner” for Greece is off the table. Moreover the proposal has been rejected by Merkel’s best friend, French president Nicolas Sarkozy. He said that the austerity programme can only be applied by the Greeks themselves. On their turn Greeks felt unbelievable relieved. Now they will have to deal only with 10,000 other fiscal discipline measures.
“The austerity program in Greece can only be applied by the national government” Sarkozy said in a press conference after the conclusion of the EU Summit in Brussels.
Further, Sarkozy stated that German Chancellor Angela Merkel does not support demands for greater supervision of Greece.
“The recovery plan can only be achieved by the Greeks,” said Sarkozy at a press conference. “No country can be put under guardianship. This wouldn’t be reasonable, democratic and efficient.”
As stated by the agency Dow Jones citing an official, a German proposal was discussed between officials of the Ministries of Finance of the euro zone last week, calling on Greece to cede some control over decisions on the budget in Europe, in return for a second package rescue operations.

Great. Let’s raise the flags and celebrate January 30 as the new independence day!
And Greece is from now on implementing all the things they agreed to do and not going on with this criminal game of hide and seek? Or is that too optimistic and too much to hope for? Or will there still be none of the agreed structural measures, but just the Greek made ‘Raise Taxes’-orgy.
Speaking of orgy: just read about the financial orgy at OAKA. That makes me even more glad that only a Greek government will be there to let these things go on and on and on and on… Heaven forbid that we lost that freedom!
Guess why Ms Sarkozy supports Greece. Not because, he is philhellenic. Because he can see on the horizon that, once he supports beloved Angela in putting Greece under a Gauleiter, on a nice spring day France will face the same.
Remember: France belongs to the ClubMed, according to all economical data.
