“Europe’s problem is not the cursed left party. It is the European intransigence that is leading the negotiations to a deadlock, and not the supposedly obsolete obsessions of our country. There are many and powerful circles in the EU and the IMF that are currently seeking to strangle the Greek left experiment.

If the plan is a European structure from which Greece is excluded because it does not want to succumb, then they will have to be aware that this Europe will be handicapped, they will have to know that they are dissolving the European structure,” Productive Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis on Friday said at the Economist conference.
