Referring to the question of the country's "memorandum commitments", Quick noted that the finance ministry claims, on the one hand, that new measures are not necessary and government ministers talk about an exit from the memorandum, while the prime minister, on on the other hand, is secretly signing more written promises to the lenders to strictly observe the terms of bailout agreements and take as many additional austerity measures as are judged necessary.

concerning either reparations, or the forced loan in Nazi-occupied Greece. Asked by the newspaper, the spokesman said that his government's position is that all issues concerning compensations from WW2 are totally and definitively resolved.
“There can be no process under which any government, or specific members thereof, such as Foreign ministers, can negotiate compensations”, added the German government spokesman. Still, the Greek government is leaking that the issue is in the final stages of being presented to Germany.

Mr. Samaras!
Alexis Tsipras , hours after the election result visited the Preside4nt of Democracy and spoke about a historical upset and the creation of a new correlation of powers.
Tsipras underlined that this upset is evident not only as a result of SYRIZA's 4.0 percentage point lead in European elections' result but also because the parties of the government coalition lost 11 percentage points compared with the 2012 results.Tsipras called on Samaras “not to even think” of proceeding with the implementation of more measures or the appointment of a new Bank of Greece (BoG) governor and EU Commissioner without the agreement of the country's biggest political party.

Hot true lies
When Propaganda and (new) Democracy undoubtedly merge...
A completely different result from what the pre-election polls had foretasted, came out on Sunday May 18 from the first round of the Local elections in Greece, shaking, obviously this time, the means of credibility of the Greek media landscape as a whole , and also of the manipulation of the public opinion such "prokat" pre-election polls may finally achieve, contributing to pre-shaped final results.
The Greek public opinion becomes another experiment on this special time, and has been "directed" and "diverted" multiple times before, but now this is on its peak .

Huffington Post :
Stop Hailing!
Governing over so much poverty and misery, with 27% unemployment, deep cuts on wages and pensions, heavy taxation on poor and unemployed citizens, with no new business no new jobs, declaring unsubstantiated claims of economic success is an insult to the suffering people. In plain words, they went to the dining table of the Greek family, took away a big portion of their food and demonstrated it to the world that Greeks have surplus food, hailing it as an economic miracle, undoubtedly inaccurate, unrealistic and exaggerated. As Greece is holding local and Euro election this month, suspicions are high that the ruling parties are using this "success story" to support pro-EU candidates". Huffington Post, May 9, 2014

Financial Times, January 9, 2014
" , , Indeed, Mr Stournaras said he bucked pressure from Christine Lagarde, IMF managing director, and Poul Thomsen, the IMF’s Greece mission chief, to ask other eurozone leaders – including German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble
–to accept “haircut” losses on their bailout loans.
“Poul and Lagarde said I had to [stand] by their side,” he recalled. “I said: ‘OK, but if I come by your side, it is what would really help Greece, but it’s something which is totally out of the question.’ Schäuble told me: ‘Yannis, forget it.’ So it cannot be done, so what can I do?”"
The Greek government, the main beneficiary of the IMF’s change of heart, was unwilling to forge an alliance with the IMF, disinclined to imagine the very possibility of siding with the Washington organisation against the mighty Mr Schäuble, as shown by an extract from an article by Peter Spiegel and Kerin Hope from Financial Times.
IMF Christine Lagarde admitted "wrong approach" to Greek crisis
She admitted there have been miscalculations and a wrong approach, but this was partly due to the fact that "numbers were largely in excess of what had been represented by TOC

In an interview with the German magazine Focus, the German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble indicated that Greece would require another bailout loan of about 10 billion euros and stated that the country would have to continue to meet the troika's demands for reforms or risk leaving the Eurozone.
The administration is attempting to appease voters by preparing a cabinet reshuffle and indicating that measures to reduce the tax burden on struggling households and businesses may be imminent. However the statements by Mr Schauble appear to restrict even further the little room for maneuver the government has on fiscal measures.
