A few months
ago, Alexis Tsipras managed to escape for a while from troika's tight
rope to gain some time and prepare for a final conflict. In February
he achieved a four-month truce period with the European Financial
Dictatorship (EFD), hoping that during this short period he would be
able to build strong alliances inside and outside the EU, or,
probably prepare for Grexit.
Unfortunately,
it turned out that the EFD had already captured Greece, thanks to the
cooperation of the previous neoliberal governments, leaving very
little room to Tsipras to proceed in key tactic moves. Of course, the
Greek PM appeared also less brave than originally showed, and this is
probably a result of his close partners in the government core, who
are the most moderate among the SYRIZA MPs.
However,
despite the final defeat, the Greek government managed to reveal the
true face of the EFD to the European people and this was a
significant gain which may be proved decisive for the future. It was
the most important achievement from Tsipras' delay tactics. Without
it, the defeat would be total.
Now, we
observe a reversal of the roles. Tsipras rushed to close the 3-year
deal with the creditors which include also the European Stability
Mechanism (ESM), although it contains new cruel measures which will
lead the economy to further recession. However, Merkel called Tsipras
to tell him that Germany still worries about the implementation of
the deal and that it would be probably better not to be closed yet,
but rather proceed in another bridge-loan.
Why Tsipras
rushes to close a disastrous deal and why Merkel tries to delay it?
Tsipras
hopes that the EFD will loosen the rope around Greece under a fixed
deal. He hopes to gain some stability without the threat of
uncontrolled bankruptcy, so that to start progressively building a
parallel program closer to that declared by SYRIZA, providing some
relief to the people. Meanwhile, he hopes that the economy will start
to recover slowly.
Merkel
doesn't want to take the slightest chance. She feels that she already
retreated, as some of the final elements in the Greek experiment were
left out of the agreement for now. However, the German puppets
(Merkel-Schäuble) are receiving extreme pressure mostly by the
German oligarchs, to impose all those cruel, neoliberal measures
which are necessary for the successful completion of the Greek
experiment, to the last detail. If something goes wrong, the
desirable federalization according to the experiment may be blown up.
Therefore,
Merkel feels that it would be better for now to proceed in such
continuous bridge-agreements with Greece so that she will be able to
blackmail through the termination of the program each time, which
would mean of course the interruption of liquidity to Greece. This
way, she hopes that she will force Greece to implement every single
detail of the experiment and pass it to the whole eurozone.
In any case,
Tsipras is wrong again. It's almost impossible, even under a fixed
3-year period deal, to implement a parallel program under the certain
custody of the EFD and the IMF mafia. Again, the only thing he should
do, is to take advantage of this disastrous deal and create a serious
plan which will truly allow Greece to exit eurozone.

Correct. I will help if the goal is other than maintaining credit with corporatistas.
