New York Times: Turmoil in Cyprus Over a Bailout Rattles Europe

By LIZ ALDERMAN and LANDON THOMAS Jr. Published: March 17, 2013


NICOSIA, Cyprus — Europe’s surprising decision early Saturday to force bank depositors in Cyprus to share in the cost of the latest euro zone bailout set off increasing outrage and turmoil in Cyprus on Sunday and fueled fears that the trouble will spread to countries like Spain and Italy.

Facing eroding support, the new president, Nicos Anastasiades, asked Parliament to postpone until Monday an emergency vote on a measure to approve the bailout terms, amid doubt that it would pass. The euro fell sharply against major currencies ahead of the action, as investors around the world absorbed the implications of Europe’s move.

In an address to the nation, Mr. Anastasiades painted an apocalyptic picture of what would happen if Cyprus did not approve the strict terms: a “complete collapse of the banking sector”; major losses for depositors and businesses; and a possible exit of Cyprus from the euro zone, the 17 countries that use the euro as their currency…  http://www.nytimes.com/2013/03/18/business/global/facing-bailout-tax-cypriots-rush-to-get-their-money-out-of-banks.html?nl=todaysheadlines&emc=edit_th_20130318&_r=0

In spite of the profoundly dulled senses that come as a result of a day of international travel, Greece takes hold of you the very moment you arrive at the Eleftherios Venizelos International Airport.

The airport, just about 20 kilometers above the sprawling megalopolis of Athens, opened on March 29, 2001, and it is named for a freedom fighter, revolutionary, statesman and charismatic leader from the early 1900s, who died in 1936...

I had the honor of visiting a monument in his honor near his hometown in Therisos gorge near Chania in Crete on January 7, and his gravesite memorial in Akrotiri, which is also near Chania, the next day.

This was my first trip to Greece… I traveled to Greece with a group of McDaniel College students and faculty members. It was more of an academic experience as opposed to a vacation, if you will.

Nevertheless, this article and several more that I researched and pre-wrote while in Greece should not be considered reporting – or the profile of a country – but rather a collection of thoughts and vignettes that lie more in the tradition of a travelogue.

After a few days in Greece, one is struck with a number of surprising observations; nothing profound – some amusing and some mundane. However, there were quite a few things about Greece that I did not expect… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5594

December 12, 2012 The Ghost of Berlusconi Rises Again Kevin E. Dayhoff
While Greece wraps up a six-month effort to secure a new bailout payment, and Washington continues to fail to understand the seriousness of its fiscal responsibilities, the world’s financial markets wobbled earlier in the week when it saw the ghost of Italy’s former Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5512

Athens, Greece, January 12 – Demonstrators once again took to the streets in central Athens Saturday afternoon, in another of a long series of strikes, demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience that have rocked Greece since a worldwide economic downturn officially got underway in December 2007.

It was four years ago – in 2009 – that Greece kicked-off the year by announcing its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP, more than four times the European Union's 3% limit. Greece was first admitted into the EU in 1981, and in 2001 it joined the Eurozone… http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

[…]




Various recent news accounts indicate that unemployment approaches 25 percent in Greece. Pensions have been reduced and salaries slashed anywhere from 30 to 60 percent.

Meanwhile last Saturday began with signs posted in the Metro that read: “Notice to Passengers. On Saturday 12/1/13, stations, Penepistimio, Syntagma, will remain closed from 10:00 for safety reason…”


Since 2010, Syntagma Square has served as a barometer for rising civil discontent over Greece’s ever-worsening economic crisis. In the past it has been the most popular locale for mass protests and tent-city like occupations, some of which have turned unexpectedly violent in which police have responded en masse with batons, shields and tear gas...

On Saturday, I witnessed more than 5,000 or 6,000 demonstrators marching past the National Archaeological Museum, in a dense, well-organized and loud processional that chanted a Greek chorus of anti-government slogans in a carefully choreographed cat-and-mouse theatrical routine with a full accompaniment of motorcycle police and a phalanx of paramilitary shock riot-police.

January 14, 2013


As they explore the history and culture of ancient Greece through its material remains with Classics professor Tom Falkner, the travelers in the Jan Term study tour “McDaniel in Greece: Myths, Monks, and Monuments” have encountered surprises – moments that have enriched their 18-day sojourn abroad.

Caroline Babylon ’76, one of eight adults and 14 students on the trip, sends back a photo a day. On day three, she shared a story with her photo of a village priest…

I’ve read it several times and gain more insights every time I read it…

Creditors’ decade-long battle with Argentina shows just how tangled sovereign defaults can be Oct 22nd 2011 NEW YORKhttp://www.economist.com/node/21533453

AS GREECE flirts with disaster and several other European countries buckle under heavy debts, creditors’ experience with Argentina should serve as a sobering reminder about the mess that can follow a sovereign default. A decade after the Latin American country welshed on $81 billion, disgruntled creditors are still chasing their money. The litigation, and Argentina’s defiance in the face of judgments against it, complicate its plans to return to international capital markets....

Γιατί Ελλάδα Θέματα από τον Kevin Ε. Dayhoff 5 Δεκεμβρίου του 2012

TheTentacle.com http://tinyurl.com/dxxwya5

Δεδομένου ότι η παγκόσμια οικονομική ύφεση εισέρχεται έκτο χρόνο της, και «δημοσιονομική γκρεμό», η λεγόμενη αποκαλυπτική δεσπόζει στις ΗΠΑ, η ελληνική χορωδία επαναλαμβάνει σε αυτή την παγκόσμια οικονομική όπερα-έπαιξε από ένα all-πολύ γνωστό ρεφραίν την περασμένη Παρασκευή, όταν η γερμανική Bundestag εγκριθεί περισσότερα κεφάλαια διάσωσης για την Ελλάδα.

Ναι, Ελλάδα - ότι η μικρή χώρα των περίπου 11 εκατομμυρίων ανθρώπων στο ανατολικό τμήμα της Μεσογείου, ανάμεσα στην Ιταλία και την Τουρκία, με μόλις δύο τοις εκατό του συνολικού Ακαθάριστου Εγχώριου Προϊόντος της Ευρώπης, και άξια ανταγωνίζεται με την Αργεντινή και τις ΗΠΑ να κερδίσουν πάνω από 100 τοις εκατό του παγκόσμιου, του καθενός χρόνια, η οικονομική ημικρανία.

Θυμηθείτε, δεν ήταν πολύ καιρό μετά την Μεγάλη Ύφεση πήρε επίσημα ξεκινήσει το Δεκέμβριο του 2007, όταν άρχισαν να rumblings να ακούσει ότι η Ελλάδα ήταν τεχνικά σε πτώχευση.

"Η Ελλάδα ξεκίνησε την κρίση το 2009 με την εισδοχή το έλλειμμα του προϋπολογισμού θα είναι 12,9% του ΑΕΠ, πάνω από τέσσερις φορές της ΕΕ όριο του 3%», σύμφωνα με ένα άρθρο που γράφτηκε για About.com από την Kimberly Amado.

Πάνω από τα πολλά χρόνια από τότε που Ελλάδα εισήχθη για πρώτη φορά στην Ευρωπαϊκή Ένωση το 1981, και ιδιαίτερα μετά το 2001, όταν εντάχθηκε στην ευρωζώνη? Ο ιστορικός γη της μυθολογίας, αρχαίου πολιτισμού, και την γενέτειρα των Ολυμπιακών Αγώνων, έχει ζήσει τεράστια, πολύ πέρα ​​από τα μέσα της και ταλαντεύτηκε προς αθέτησης των δανείων της και οικονομικό χάος για πάνω από τέσσερα χρόνια.

Πέστε ότι δεν είναι έτσι. Η Ελλάδα είναι η ουσία της αρχαίας λαϊκές παραδόσεις, οι αρχές της δημοκρατίας και της δυτικής φιλοσοφίας με μια τεκμηριωμένη ιστορία που χρονολογείται από τον 3ο αιώνα π.Χ., με ένα σύγχρονο, υψηλό βιοτικό επίπεδο, ότι το περιοδικό The Economist, εξίσου υψηλή θέση ως 22η στον κόσμο, όπως πρόσφατα ως 2005 ...

Why Greece Matters by Kevin E. Dayhoff December 5, 2012


As the global financial recession enters its sixth year, and the so-called apocalyptic ‘fiscal cliff’ looms large in the U.S., the repeating Greek chorus in this global economic opera played-out an all-too familiar refrain last Friday when the German Bundestag approved more bailout funds for Greece.

Yes, Greece – that tiny country of approximately 11 million people in the eastern portion of the Mediterranean between Italy and Turkey, with barely two-percent of the entire Gross Domestic Product of Europe, and capably competes with Argentina and the U.S. to command over 100 percent of everyone’s global, chronic, economic migraine headache.

Remember, it was not long after the Great Recession officially got underway in December 2007, when rumblings started to be heard that Greece was technically bankrupt.

“Greece kicked off the crisis in 2009 by admitting its budget deficit would be 12.9% of GDP, more than four times the EU's 3% limit,” according to an article written for About.com by Kimberly Amado.

Over the many years since Greece was first admitted into the European Union in 1981, and especially since 2001 when it joined the eurozone; the storied land of mythology, ancient civilization, and the birthplace of the Olympics, has lived huge, way beyond its means and lurched toward defaulting on its loans and economic chaos for over four years.

Say it ain’t so. Greece is the stuff of ancient lore, the beginnings of democracy and western philosophy with a documented history that dates back to the 3rd century BC, with a modern, high standard of living that The Economist ranked as high as 22nd in the world as recently as 2005…
