Europe, Greek,Anarkismo.net: "Fear the Greeks bearing gifts"

Anarkismo.net: "Fear the Greeks bearing gifts" The EU and its institutions fear perhaps an effect from the Trojan horse in the EU? by Donato Romito (it, pt)

Seize the opportunity and usefulness of a crack, a political and social space that might 
open in the monolith of the fiscal compact and the economy of debt, to revive the 
difficult labor struggles and expand and sustain urban struggles across Europe, in order 
to reconstruct the class consciousness necessary for a democratic rupture. ---- Aeneid 
(Book II, 49) of Virgil, so he said Laocoon to the Trojans to keep them from bringing 
within the walls of the city's famous horse of the Greeks. ---- The victory of the 
coalition SYRIZA and the first anti-austerity intent of the new government of the 
left-right (SYRIZA + Anel) are worrying not just the countries of the EU and its 
institutions. ---- The Greeks are therefore still afraid. ---- The EU is concerned perhaps 
an effect from Trojan horse within the Union, if they were to ever open the doors of 
austerity in the face of even the minimum requirements of the Greeks?

As was the case for Ireland, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus, the warning of the ECB (refusal to 
accept Greek government bonds as collateral to guarantee loans to Greek banks), before 
they even have a sign statement seems to have a sign clearly political.

We are no longer, in fact, in 2011-12, when just to keep Greece in the single currency, 
Germany, Finland and the Netherlands agreed to double bailout tears & blood (the infamous 
memorandum of the troika by EUR 264 billion) of Greece, apppropriandosi dell ' 80% of the 
debt greek.

After the speeches of the ECB, especially with the recent QE, the economic situation in 
the EU has changed, so the more that the state debt of Greece (on which the game is open), 
to worry so much so-called hawks, as governments center -Right of Spain and Portugal, it 
would be a contagion effect SYRIZA within individual states (see Podemos in Spain, Die 
Linke in Germany, ...).

The new government greek announced a maneuver by EUR 2bn to summarize 12,000 public 
employees laid off, to freeze the privatization, to increase the minimum wage and combat 
tax evasion. For a country that calls for the renegotiation of the debt, everything is 
intolerable for the institutions of the "troika".

2015 ripen some deadlines for Greece (EUR 5bn to be returned to the IMF, plus EUR 6.7 
billion to be returned to the ECB).

On the negotiating table, on the one hand the request for more time and less interest to 
be paid by Greece, other European blackmail on the freezing of the other aid provided (EUR 
7 billion), if the government does not submit greek.

Yet a submission fierce Tsipras might be just as politically counterproductive for 
Germany, as a contagion effect-nourished political and social forces anti-austerity.

Humiliation for the leader of SYRIZA would bring Greece into uncontrollable instability 
most likely to push towards the so-called Grexit (maybe today, unlike in 2011, would not 
mind to Mrs. Merkel) but that would raise issues on the stability in the eurozone other 
countries such as Portugal, Spain, Italy and even France.

And then Germany could be accused of having led for the second time in the history of the 
entire continent to disaster.

SYRIZA, therefore, must be contained in order not to raise hopes and instability in other 
countries burdened by the austerity policies. But further obstinacy on the German side 
would condemn Europe to a decade of impoverishment that would fuel populist forces and 
far-right anti-euro, but still pro-austerity and anti-proletarian feroemente.

The game that is played in the corridors of European power is therefore open, but could 
become more decisive if they went into the game the social movements across Europe are 
fighting against austerity policies, against the lot of territory, against the destruction 
of the rights of workers, against racism.

To build a Europe of solidarity of the working class must be mobilized on a continental 
scale of the anti-capitalist forces, which uses the contradiction that began in the EU, 
after the electoral victory of SYRIZA yesterday and tomorrow that of Podemos.

It is not about finding a Tzipras or make a Syriza in any other country or to go to school 
by Iglesias in Spain for electoral and parliamentary groped adventures that have never 
brought anything good to the working classes. It is rather to seize the opportunity and 
usefulness of a crack, a political and social space that might open in the monolith of the 
fiscal compact and the economy of debt, to revive the difficult labor struggles and expand 
and sustain urban struggles throughout Europe, in order to reconstruct the class 
consciousness necessary for a democratic rupture. A break of democratic and libertarian 
net mark-capitalist. not through shortcuts election but for the construction of a social 
conflict and widespread lattice, systematic and constant, capable of expressing growing 
radicalism from below, addressed verso? reappropriation and self-management of common 
resources, heritage and the environment, cultural and economic, in the territories of 
Europe and in every country.

Only high hopes? Sure, but supported by the observation of signs of conflict and 
development of the struggles in various countries. To us it is the constant daily 
commitment of our political organizations, communist anarchist and libertarian, within the 
reality of every day, even when it seems to move away from our strategic objectives.
