Re: The new Greek government program (4.00 / 3)

The German Association of Journalists has called on Bild to ditch its anti-Greek campaign.
They argue that Bild has crossed the line into political campaigning, by urging readers to pose with their "Nein" poster ahead of tomorrow's Bundestag vote [see earlier post].
They added that it is ethically questionable to vilify a whole nation for the fiscal mistakes of their politicians.

Re: The new Greek government program (none / 1)

In test votes, only 22 CCDU/CSU members of parliament voted no and 5 abstained. Meanwhile, Schäuble is angry about the suggestion of debt restructuring in the Charlie Hebdo interview.

Re: The new Greek government program (4.00 / 3)

Part of the whole agreement by the troika was a writedown of the debt if Greece maintained a primary surplus. They already agreed to this. Years ago.

AGREEMENTS MUST BE KEPT.

What the heck is Schauble talking about?
