A
controlled Greek default scenario inside euro under a new government
of technocrats has been developed by Berlin and ECB, according to a
report in the Italian newspaper La Stampa.
The
"war room" of ECB and eurozone Finance ministries is ready
to openly discuss the worst case scenario, the newspaper writes and
argues that one of the "hypothetical choices" examined by
the German government and the European Central Bank is the
possibility of default without Grexit.
According
to this scenario, there will be a kind of short - controls within the
country, coupled with a mild program to deal "humanitarian
crisis" and an EU emergency program to avoid the collapse of the
Greek banks.
La
Stampa notes that the possibility of default inside euro has been
“suggested” by the president of Bundesbank, the German central
bank, who in a recent speech stated: “Member States must take
responsibility for the impact of their political decisions. There
must be a correlation between the control and obligation. Ultimately,
this implies the possibility of default for a state, without the
collapsing of its financial system.”

So, is everything determined from the start? This is probably a plan by
the lenders to bring Greece progressively back to the course of the
neoliberal catastrophic policies with the help of technocrats. How
will SYRIZA respond?
We
should remind that Paris Koukoulopoulos, member of PASOK party, said
in 2011 that the then Finance Minister, Giorgos Papakonstantinou,
made a significant statement according to which the issue of Greece's
default was transferred to 3-4 years in the future! Koukoulopoulos
said clearly that this was a choice of the EU and an agreement with
the then Greek government! (http://bit.ly/1CZnbKo)
Scenario 3:
Neither the neoliberal nor the
anti-neoliberal front will be able to form government. In that
case, the political dead end through repeated elections may give
the suitable excuse to see a technocratic government by banking
puppets, which will be presented as the only viable solution. This
sub-experiment has already been tested in Greece and Italy through
the banking puppets Papademos and Monti. This "solution"-parameter
in the Greek experiment could be proved a dangerous threat to
European parliamentary democracy, as may be used in other
countries in times of political crises, becoming permanent
practice and finally, establishing definitely the sovereignty of
the plutocrats against the majority.

Unlike in Italy I hope the Greek people respond to direct banker rule with ropes and lamp posts.
