Okay. So it was farce rather than fracas after all. Stournaras has just told us the troika has backed down a bit on labour laws and that agreement on the package has now been concluded.
Which begs the question. If Kouvellis has to threaten not to vote for the package, for the government to actually try and get concessions, could they not have been more serious about the negotiations from the very beginning?
Samaras is a disgrace and has been shown up as one from the mere fact of “resolving” this crisis through the troika backing down before a real threat. Imagine what he could have achieved had he countered with his own threats?
So, unfortunately, Greece is on the road to perdition. Thanks to Samaras.
