Greece’s lenders demand additional assurances that the any future Greek government will stick to the loan agreement commitments. On Wednesday, German Finance Mnister “Wolfgang Schäuble seemed to be aiming his attacks at Greek conservatives. The New Democracy (ND) party, led by Antonis Samaras, has not been committed enough to taking the necessary steps to save the country from default, Schäuble told the German public radio station SWR2.” (Der Spiegel)
They question the credibility of conservative Nea Dimokratia leader Antonis Samaras. But who says that Antonis Samaras will be able to form a one-party government? The latest public survey that was conducted after the passing of the new loan agreement and the austerity package, show that hardly a party will manage to pass the threshold of 41% needed to form a one-party government.
PASOK, currently the strongest party in the parliament with 130 seats, sinks in the 5th rank of particicpants’ preference.
The poll was conducted by VPRC for weekly magazine Epikaira:
Socialist PASOK 11%
Conservative Nea Dimokratia 27.5%
Democratic Left 16%
Communist KKE 14%
Left-wing SYRIZA 13.5%
Far-right LAOS 4.5%
Ecologists Greens 3.5%
Extreme right Chrysi Aygi 2.5%
Centre Democratic Alliance 2%
31.8% of the asked said they would cast a ‘white’ or an ‘invalid‘ vote.
PASOK -Nea Dimokratia get together 38.5%, while the parties of the Left get together 47% (or even 50% if one adds two minor left parties that would not pass the elections threshold of 3% to catch a seat in the parliament)
In another question “how satisfied are you from the way the Greek government deals with the country’s problems”
78% answered “Not at All” and only 1% said the were ‘satisfied”.

They will tell you to write the measures into the constitution.
BTW: The propaganda machines are working brilliantly.
F.i. “Papoulias”: Most papers just write he was “offensive” (Did he say Malaka? Sorry i missed that…) to Schaeuble and ignore the events happened before that or let it happen after he asked “who is..?”!!!
Another story is about that for the gap of the missing 325 millions Greece wanted to cut off from the military budget but it was refused because a 1 billion deal for more German weapons. But i couldn’t verify if that is up to date or old dog-shi..

Anyway: “Louk for Prez” so, that also the non-voters have someone serious to vote for!
von haaren still in Brussels? WOW!
This one of Mutti is really cool: @1.58: “The federal government will not intervene into fixed and approved contracts between German companies and receiving countries.”
But into Elections! (hehehe)
Her last Words: “Weapons have a long tradition in the behind the times (rückständigen) country. Until 1974 it was a military dictatorship.”
I guess this means these backwardly Greeks have to do more homework and learn that Greece is too hilly for so many tanks. You might call her to tell her that all Greeks make homework 24/7 because school’s out forever and/or sux.
