I kinda get the feeling that this referendum will backfire on Tsipras. He new very clearly that people naturally would got No for more austerity. But after another week lost - the tank is running empty and he is in the bad part of the town.

Germany, France press Greece to make credible proposals

Doesn't that remind you of some organized structures that operate businesses with certain illegality in many countries (hint: it is called mafia) :-).

Greek PM says Athens ready to return to negotiating table

More likely politicians covering their a....es just before they would be political corpses - very cunning actually - to wash their hands for the 5 month sharade with "the people voted for this!" :-).

Greek PM says Athens ready to return to negotiating table

You capitalist! How do you dare to exploit the Greek tragedy in this way! I think the people found the real banking shadow person who is responsible for missing their 15 yearly salaries! :-)

Greek PM says Athens ready to return to negotiating table

I'm following this drama since 2010. Back then and back in 2012 the German chancellor had quite a different tone concerning this matter. Every time her financial minister said something stern about Greece, frau Merkel was there to say the opposite ...

Tsipras gets party leaders singing from the same hymn sheet

Wow, someone with brains here. Good post!

No, no - don't worry, the old Italian uncle will be more generous when he gets your house :-)))).

Greece will not be getting any more cash from the ECB

Couple weeks ago everyone was talking how there is no way a deal will not be reached before 30 June. Let's look at the facts and what is really happening. Greece was squeezed in EU mainly for geopolitical purposes - neither economic or financial ...

Greece proposes tax amnesty for funds parked in Switzerland: paper

For starters - I'm intelligent enough to avoid fairy tales and radical politicians. I'm quite familiar firsthand with Greeks and their attitude toward paying their bills. And because you seem to miss several classes in school (basically the average ...

A Greek challenge for 'Mr Europe' Juncker

I was about to say this exactly. The little leverage the Syriza clowns had - they lost it for good on 25 June - I just wonder how didn't anyone here noticed the tone change in Eurogroup and high EU officials.

A Greek challenge for 'Mr Europe' Juncker

Right :-). I hear this all night long last 5 months form the Syriza clowns. Last time I checked Italy was still in ez/eu.

Greece Referendum: What Happens If They Vote “No”

I don't see any winning faces last week at the ATM lines. Do you? Yes it would perhaps send a message - but this mean what exactly - automatic debt forgiveness and more money so greek public workers and pensioners can get their 14 salaries/pensions ...

Ouzaki of course - you should be grateful :-).

A Greek challenge for 'Mr Europe' Juncker

1 month ago nobody believed it will come to Greece default and bank closure. Everyone was quite optimistic the deal will eventually come and Greek government will resume it's wild overspending like the last 30 yrs. Yet the unthinkable happened and ...

A Greek challenge for 'Mr Europe' Juncker

Well, I would say more confused than bad looking. And it was not the language they struggle but the pure technical question and possible answers - it's like asking the grocery store owner for the cesium isotopes. That referendum is quite a sharade ...

Greece Referendum: What Happens If They Vote “No”

What is unclear to me is why every self rated "economist" start the Greece analysis from 2011?! This country didn't existed before?! They didn't getting into debt since late 80s up to 2010?! Or we just skip this for simplicity and blame some funny ...

What went wrong with Greece?
