The Eurogroup started an hour later than scheduled probably because each and every Eurozone Finance Minister make a long statement at the doorstep. Before Greece’s lenders seal the closure of Program Review and decide on the release of the bailout tranche of €10.3 billion – as Greek state media report from Brussels -.
Based on the Eurogroup FinMins statements it is very possible that there will be no “white smoke” as Athens expects. Not even Green Light for bailout tranche release. They may have praised the Greek reforms but it seems as if still “one-two things should be done.” And it is apparently not just the disagreement between Germany and the IMF over the Greek debt relief.
There are pending issues re 18 prior actions but not big enough to block disbursement, acc to official (via
@capitalgr)#Eurogroup#Greece
At the doorstep several officials made their statements to reports.
Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said that “the Greek government made a lot of work in the last weeks pushing for reforms.”
Loyal to Germany, Dijsselbloem stressed though:
“No Greek debt deal without the IMF”
and added:
EU Commissionner Pierre Moscovici:
#Moscovici:#Eurogroup wants ‘global deal’ accepted by all institutions
German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble:
“Any talk of the Greek debt will be after the election in Germany in 2018”
” There is no program without IMF. I’m optimistic important issues will be resolve.”
“there are a lot of text pages that have to be examined, many of them are in Greek.”
Slovakia’s FinMin Peter Kazimir who seems to have come into his senses about Greece:
Most important thing is to conclude review & agree tranche – give
#Greece breathing space. We don’t need another liquidity crisis.#eurozone
This
#Eurogroup is not going to be an easy one. Many things remain unresolved.#eurozone#Greece
Wall Street Journalist with EU Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker:
Journalist: “All good?” @JunckerEU : “No.”
…and then again Peter Kazimir:
I’m afraid we will spend the night together.
#Greece#Eurogroup#eurozone#IMF
I’m sorry but was anyone actually expecting anything different?
How comes after 7 years this ugly-German lazy slob still don’t speak Greek? What’s this fuckface doing the whole day? Sitting, sitting, filling diapers and eating someones fuck or what? What a scandal!
They’re using the whole “contracts”-shit to sell out Greece just as a blueprint for their TTIP, do they’ve built a 2nd planet Earth for politicians and rich brat to hide or how do they think they will survive the guillotines?
hey hey hey! not so brutal. they didn’t start learning Greek right in 2010.
Learn Greek?
The only thing that “fat fuck” needs to know in Greek is ,,don’t lie and pay back your debt”, the troika has already eased the debt burden so don’t complain!
Learn Greek…?!? How vane is that? 🙂
Reunite Germany they said. It’ll be good they said. Good for the banks not the people. The Real people… the Greeks.
smh
When will enough be enough for the Greek people? The Government was given a very clear mandate by the people last year. For various nefarious reasons they (the politicians) chose to ignore it. Since then, their noses have been rubbed in ‘it’ like a naughty dog. Enough! Time to stop playing along to their humiliating games. Call their bluff.
Learn Greek?
The only thing that “fat fuck” needs to know in Greek is ,,don’t lie and pay back your debt”, the troika has already eased the debt burden so don’t complain!
Learn Greek…?!? How vane is that? 🙂
Learn Greek!
Ok!!!
How do you reply ,,stop whining, the Greeks aren’t doing worse than Eastern European countries where people earn just as much?”
To
,,we want our unsustainable lifestyle back without working for it?”
Take your anti-helleniste Nazi-propaganda and shove it, if you idiots are too coward to go on strike for workers rights this is not a problem of Europeans, just like most fascist bastards they love their slave-drivers, do the dirty anti-Proletarian work and are scarred to death someone else will do it even cheaper.
HAHAHA!!! 🙂
The good old nazi defermation.that always kicks in when people discuss with a German and don’t have any arguments.
Actually, we german slaves agreed to some payroll-cuts and labour law reforms in the last 15 years and now enjoy record pay increases, record low unemployment, rising pensions and a government budget SURPLUS!!!
All because we stopped with the constant “communist-union-more-and-more- money” populist Propaganda 🙂
you did the cuts to pay for your reunification.so simple.
that’s what you call solidarity
Your Eastern European slaves were just too stupid to join the EU in 81 but you think you can use them for your 4th Reich divide and conquer game. Not able to read more than headlines and never wonder what payments Greece has to make every few months while your whole brainwashed society is like “Greece will never pay back anyway.”
It’s you and your Goebbels-media ignoring that Greece already paid back more than 50 billions, that 3/4 of the “debts” are no debts at all but interest, a totally different interest-rate that makes your surplus possible, a surplus that also happens to be as you refuse to pay back 380 billions war-debts while your government laughs at “these stupid subhumans” that dare to ask for, makes parties for your brave war-criminals fallen in Crete, you refuse to pay war-debts that your government betrayed Greece of in 1990, while demanding to pay debts to your greedy criminal banskter-sect. You are promoting anti-Greek lies just to have a new Jew scapegoat, the ministry of propaganda with it’s faked unemployment-numbers with millions of unemployed forced into early retirement, 10 million low paid and mini-jobbers plus 5 million faked by state for big-biz so called “independent” contractors will all make up a nice future with most of them receiving mini-pensions or nothing at all. Your economy is responsible for 10% of the climate chaos as it isn’t stopping to sell cars although it was obvious to do so already 20 years ago, you not only bribe world-wide government officials to sell your crap but also soccer teams to get the cup and when someone with nukes will stuff your big-mouth you’ll all run for cover in South of Europe hoping these “sub-humans” you stole away your “villa with sea-view” will have died out because this it is all your motivation comes from: Jealousy about and greed to get the houses of the “Gastarbeiters” they’ve worked for two shifts a day.
Rant much? 🙂
So lets see what crap you got in there: Jews, Goebbels-media, climate change, cars, bankster-sect, sub-humans, nukes, bribe world-wide government officials to sell your crap but also soccer teams to get the cup?!? 😀 … that’s a good one!!!
…4th Reich (aahhh, a classic)
you like your conspiracies, don’t you?
well, two things on your comment. yes, Greece, pays interest rates, just like every country does that borrows money, except that Greece has exceptionally low rates since the credits are backed by european countries shouldering YOUR debt and interest burden!
second, yes we do have people with low incomes/pensions, except that WE are able to supplement those incomes/pensions with a well funded welfare state that is fed by a working economy, in fact 145 billion out of a 300 billion annual budget goes to the department of ,,work and social affairs”, that way pensioners get a living wage and low income workers have jobs and get extra from the government. It’s a great system that makes sure even unskilled workers have jobs and have a decent income. Oh, and we just raised the minimum wage to 8,50 €)
btw, Gastarbeiter are eligible, too. otherwise they can go back to their rich home countries, nobody forced them to come.
and on those war-debts: Germany has paid reparations to numerous countries, everything was settled in international courts.
what a coincidence that Greece suddenly comes up with an amount the same size as it’s debt 🙂
Just to not forget: Of promised 360 only 240 billion Euros made it to Greece and 380 is not 240. It was a big mistake to not destroy you country of scum and give it all to your victims, Israel belongs on German shores not on Palestinian, Gypsies and commies would have had a home too; after WW-2 Germoney lost any right to exist.
Minimum wage is a fake, lots of people get ripped off because the swines now count in former paid holidays, also hundreds of thousands don’t get it, stigmatized as long-time unemployed. It’s time for EU to punish your capitalistic Mafia as it’s not very European sustainable to subside cheap labour with welfare to be competitive, f.i. German postal-services are much too cheap and all Southern states citizens pay 3 times so much than your stinking master-race, so no wonder no exports for small biz possible.
It was your bastard CDU-government that supported the Junta and forced people to leave and your economy that needed workers, the only shit your country achieved to be proud of was Baader-Meinhof who punished the SS-pre-founder of EU and forced him to hung himself in a trunk.
You’ve paid nuthing to Greece, you were obliged by the treaties of 53 to do so after reunification, and now your people come up and say it’s not called reunification, in prima linea a dude that would have ended up in your KZs due to his sexual orientation; hopefully he had a painful death and hopefully Trump or Putin or any other idiot will nuke you 80 million hooligans that needed the cup so desperately to mobilize your neo-fascists just like after 1990.
and btw your oh so generous interest rates is bullshit-propaganda as it makes not any difference as Greece until 2030 has to pay 200 billion and 150 billion of these are only the interest, go to hell in your Barbarian woods, give back the alphabet, it’s just another stolen culture, just like all you do is steal and exploit, your system is in compliance with dictators and genocide for resources as you have none, you have not even an own music-style while in the Balkans every village gots its own
Shut to fuck up you lazy piece of shit lazy gypsy commie and get a job so you people can pay back the 18 countries that lent you money after you stole it from the banks by lying to them and the eu.
And no, nobody is gonna give you back your Alphabet and Democracy, even though it’s the only things Greece has come up with in like 2000 years.
Stop blaming others with your conspiracy theories, there are lots of countries who have had the same problem s with Germany and now blame all of their problem s on Germany.
You are just jealous cause now you notice that one has to work for prosperity and not steal and lie
And now you lazy bums can’t accept that you are in the same position as lots of other countries around you except that you think you have some human right to a better lifestyle just because you stole before and are too stupid to understand that is not how economics work, you dumb fucks.
Little Kraut, let me assure you as a Brit (you know, one of those nations that kicked your asses in the 1940s) that the nation that has stolen the most, and done the most damage to Europe is Germany. Having damaged our continent almost beyond repair, and needing American money to recover, you are now doing more or less exactly the same as in 1939. Instead of sending Nazi soldiers, you are engaged in economic warfare with a miserable old Nazi in a wheelchair directing the assaults. This is a major reason why the UK might vote to leave the EU (although I hope not) — because of the anger over German treatment of Greece.
don;t feed the trolls
OK, but it saved a lot of money as people can’t drink and laugh at the same time
Haha 🙂
They probably wouldn’t publish your reply because it’s too laughable
I can’t believe they let you post those confused insults
Barbarians can’t speak Greek.How vain the weather vane!
They eat their Schnitzel and don’t know it’s halal
So you consider everybody who doesn’t speak Greek a barbarian?
No, only Germans with their nasty rasping sounds. Not to mention their nasty history.
This sound comes from overwhelming feelings of greed while stealing 2/3 of their “language” from Latin and Greek that let’em forget to ask in Anatolian mountains how to pronounce the stolen stuff.
Did you make the necessary reform of pension system that kills your budget? No. So what do you expect? Nobody is interested in Greeks blabla anymore.
may 12 – don;t fall victim to own prejudice
could you be more specific?
google it
you are maintaining an information site about greece? -google it- hahahaha
sounds like typical greek response :)))
this is probably also the way you do reforms
I would expect that your site “keeptalkinggreece” will make some serious overview about what was implemented, when, and what was not, but you guys rather preferr your Greek blabla and google it
–
thank you for info KTG !!!
–
you expect? HAHAHA! what is your contribution that gives you the right to “expect”?
They learned to demand things under their communist system. They still haven’t understood how the rest of the world works — with co-operation and production, solidarity and empathy. Mind you, they are looking at the terrible example being set by the Krauts…very bad example of how to behave.
They’re also very, very nervous about their scab jobs in UK and Germoney, but then they’ll come again like 89 to slave in Green Houses and steal the hippies their jobs; reminds of the Albanians in Greece protesting against refugees.
A pervert game this is: First “reforms” dictated by massmurderer’s austerity are forcing hundreds of thousands into early retirement and then asking for more “reforms.”
Just 30 years ago this would have been impossible as these politicians couldn’t sleep any more waiting for Proletarian justice to show’em how it feels to live on ones knees.
