@Papageorgiou_J Gov is optimistic about an agrmnt on#Greece. But what I am learning frm#BrusselsGroup, Berlin & DC are quite different
Nikos Filis
Greece is outside Eurozone , due to the Memorandum
“What is very important is that Chancellor Merkel and President Hollande, shoed today that, indeed, they are interested in a longterm solution for Greece, commented N.Filis, Parliamentary Representative of governing SYRIZA Party, live on air, as soon correspondents reported the news on Greek tv after the meeting
” Longterm means Growth and Depth”
he emphasized, and explained to Emilios Liatsos who was interviewing him ,why these are such critical moments, not only for Greece’s present and future, but also for a viable future of Democratic Europe, itself.
\’What this government achieved so far, is the fact the Story Greece is now discussed on the table of the top European leaders, on top political level, that really never happend before, since the Memorandum.
“It is a political decision, the survival of Greece,” Nikos Filis undelined, “as it had been Greece’s accession to the European Community back in 1980 by Konstantine Karamanlis, Greece’s accession to the Economic Monetary Union in 2002 (even with biased data, Nikos Filis said, still, it was a political decision by Kostas Simitis), the same happens now, it is a political decision of the EU leaders to allow the re-accession of Greece”.
The Parliamentary Representative of Tsipras Party concluded his comments with a so shocking, -though, already widely realized in Greece-, fact:
” Greece is actually outside Eurozone , due to the Memorandum”
