syriza

Just because Syriza got a majority in the elections doesn't mean the rule of law has been suspended.

Those have been proposed by Syriza itself, but that hardly matters because the disagreement is not actually about economic policy, at all.

It's a aggressive right-winger view point, which again does everything to denounce Syriza as left-wing radicals and supporters, which is explicitly against Syriza's own point of view.

And given that Syriza has, in fact, slashed pensions and raised the retirement age, they are clearly willing to do that.

Of course it's possible that Syriza did make preparations for the new Drachma and all claims to the contrary are just misdirection.

And, for all syriza's faults (they're socialists:p), they're not responsible for the mess: they were never in power.

What makes todays reports bombshells isn't the idea that Tsipras (more accurately, the Syriza Left Platform) had a Plan B involving the drachma.

Varoufakis and Syriza should have started a Grexit strategy from the early beginning.

Indeed one thing I find shocking is the assumption, even among very smart people, that Syriza is too far left.

I guess that this is what they wanted when they voted Syriza and when they voted NO in the referendum.

With all the US government pressure in this topic, and Syriza styled after Venezuela populists, I wonder why the US is not giving money to Venezuela but the EU should pay left populists.

(The headline is "Syriza’s covert plot during crisis talks to return to drachma" if you want to Google it because of the registration wall).

The issue is doing it abruptly, by fiat, at the behest of a faction of Syriza.

The national bank is still led by a member of the old cast, who is hostile to Syriza.

Syriza re-hired the few that the previous government laid off, knowing they didn't have money to pay for them.
