Greece seeks to reassure Europe as tensions rise

Greece seeks to reassure Europe as tensions rise

By James Mackenzie and Renee Maltezou

ATHENS (Reuters) - New Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, striking a conciliatory note on debt talks after a turbulent start to office, has called the European Central Bank chief to assure him that Athens was seeking an agreement.

The new government in Athens made clear from its first day in power that it would not back down on its election pledges to abandon the austerity policies imposed under the bailout agreement sealed by the last government.

But facing growing disquiet from partners led by Germany, Tsipras rang European Central Bank President Mario Draghi on Friday night to assure him that Athens was seeking an accord, a government official said.

We have been watching this development closely - Greece finance Minister to meet Chancellor Osborne - on its debts and Economic issues.
Please everybody do not treat us like daft cow - on the day Chancellor Merkle was in London to meet PM Cameron, we had written on her official Facebook site - get her Officials to contact some of the Greek entities we have mentioned to check on the accuracy of what we had written - that same late morning we had Charlie Hebdo. ( France is not going to teach we the Franco Seychellois anything new about Revolution - the origin of those Franco Indian Ocean communities from the Kings era, the Revolution and Republic and the first world war. )
We had written on several social network of some of the important impacts/dynamic/synergy which would come about as a result of going to Strasbourg and the issues of the EU Euro 315 billion. We thought the voters had told the politicians do not take us for fools with what your dribble in the press. How you say thins are done in reality very different.

To the many young undergraduates of Law and Business in Europe - forget what you have been taught in the classroom - when you go about setting parameters to build a massive support for a financial package of Euro 315 billions Economic project - those energy/dynamic has to come from somewhere - it is not like printing money or writing on you computer - those who really have the capacity to manage such issues know the dynamic/energy to support such complex package must be robust other wise it will not work.

Those in London from Chancellor of Lady Thatcher, Norman Lemont, others - the era Britain was the sick man of Europe and near bust - we were importantly involved, Von Hayek and Professor M Hofmann, Chancellor Gordon Brown and the last chancellor of PM Brown with whom we have worked very many highly important issues know what we are talking about. Oh, their Central Banks Officials (That was before the Greek election out come)

In Islington - there is a road called Hercules road , the Pub is also called Hercules pub - there were/are two distinct entities for the Greek and Cypriot community in Islington and they are in touch with very many individuals - some 10 years ago, the Chair person was a member of the Satakis Family - Hotel people.

Events in London - development and the Greek communities, those who ventured in big construction projects on account of the information running on the streets of Islington and they were coming/originating from my person and respective entities and those who have vast made very vast fortunes - what was being written in the media. Prior to that global melt down.

Given the politic of the NGO and Voluntary workings the many cuts and restructuring - use to go there and discuss, talk certain issues and maintain contact. { Mega issues of Occupy} Whilst all those were making very very big money in the development and investment sector from the information running on the streets of London and Islington - the Greek Community centers were starving/fund less and their staff curtailed. Is this right.

We talk of the economic situation and the complexities. They offered us one of their building to purchase so that we have a long term office/presence in Islington or London. May knew of this/yet.

Had those politicians in Greece listened just as they use the information to invest in massive Property portfolio and where did the money come from - Greece would not have need that Euro 300 billion bailout. They would have had some kind of economy.

{We have been explaining we may have to close or relocate our workings in Islington and the mega earthquake this will cause in very many sector and issues - do you think anybody will listen no - over the past 30 years the way Europe have worked, then what they will attribute the outcome to } On the Streets of Europe the people are sick of this system/double workings and benchmarks.

Greece tries to win concessions from European governments, but the European Central Bank is the biggest factor of all

Threats and blandishments
IT HAS certainly been a rocky start. In its first week in office, Greece’s new government pledged to row back reforms, halt privatisations and to ignore calls for

Get ready for Greece to leave euro, says Greenspan

Former Chairman of the Federal Reserve makes his prediction as Greece's new prime minister outlines plans to keep the country afloat

The former chairman of the US Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, has predicted that Greece will be forced to exit the euro, as its new prime minister outlined plans to keep the debt-stricken country financially afloat.

In a bleak assessment of Europe’s future, Greenspan, one of the most influential policymakers of modern times, said it was “just a matter of time” before Greece dropped out, triggering the eventual collapse of the single currency.

His stark comments came just hours before Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras told parliament he would on Wednesday ask fellow eurozone members in Brussels for an emergency short-term bridging loan, to allow Athens more time to negotiate a new debt deal.
