This picture shows the pain of Greece falling apart By Matt O'Brien June 17, 2015

This picture shows the pain of Greece falling apart By Matt O'Brien June 17, 2015 http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/wonkblog/wp/2015/06/17/this-picture-shows-the-pain-of-greece-falling-apart/?tid=pm_business_pop_b

This picture is worth approximately 317 billion words in Greek. That's how many euros its government owes, and how many euros it's going to start defaulting on if it doesn't agree on a new bailout in the next few days.

After all, you don't have to be an expert in game theory, like Greece's finance minister Yanis Varoufakis is, to know it's not good if he's crouching with his head in his hands right before midnight strikes on his country's solvency. But I think we can sympathize with how he feels. We do too. The years change, but the Greek crisis doesn't. It owes more than it can pay, so it needs Europe to give it the money to pay, well, Europe back. The problem, though, is Europe doesn't want to just hand over the money in such circular fashion without getting something else—pension and spending cuts—in return, and Greece doesn't want so many painful strings attached after it's already cut a lot and only seen its economy shrink by 25 percent.

The Economist: Greece - The sorry saga of Syriza

In its first hundred days Greece’s government has failed dismally. A crunch looms

May 9th 2015 http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21650600-its-first-hundred-days-greeces-government-has-failed-dismally-crunch-looms-sorry-saga?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/st/thesorrysagaofsyriza

[…]

Perhaps it was naive to expect anything else. A few years ago many of the men now in charge spent their time discussing the contradictions of capitalism over coffee and cigarettes. Few had ever run anything, let alone a government. Their European contacts were limited. Syriza, their party, typically won only 3-4% of the vote. But Greece’s economic calamity transformed its prospects. In 2012 it came within a whisker of power. And after January’s election it went one better, forming a governing coalition.

Syriza, under the leadership of the new prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, offered an attractive promise to a country battered by recession and humiliated by years of tutelage at the hands of foreign bureaucrats. Mr Tsipras promised to tear up the bail-outs, restore Greek dignity and keep the euro (as the vast majority of Greeks want). Greece might also, ministers mused, change the rules of euro-zone governance, to the benefit of all Europeans.

Three months on, the first two of these pledges are in tatters, the third looks shaky and the fourth is a bad joke. Less than a month after the election, Greece agreed to extend its second bail-out until the end of June, in the hope of securing the €7.2 billion ($8.1 billion) left in the kitty. The abrasive approach of Mr Tsipras and Mr Varoufakis since then may have played well at home, but abroad it has won Greece nothing but mistrust and scorn.

This has had two results. http://www.economist.com/news/europe/21650600-its-first-hundred-days-greeces-government-has-failed-dismally-crunch-looms-sorry-saga?fsrc=scn/tw/te/pe/st/thesorrysagaofsyriza

The New Athenian: Greeks Desperately Seek Good Authority in EU

The New Athenian: Greeks Desperately Seek Good Authority in EU:

Greeks Desperately Seek Good Authority in EU

John Psaropoulos at The New Athenian - 7 hours ago

This article was published by Al Jazeera English. The Greeks had said that theirs will be an austere presidency, and they showed from day one that they mean it. EU press rooms are normally lavishly catered. Greece produced canteens of black coffee and a number of sandwiches so small that their reputation traveled much further than they did. The EU presidency may not be the grand institution it was when Greece last held it in 2003, ushering in a massive expansion into Eastern Europe; heads of government and foreign ministers now have permanent chairs to their councils, sparing the ... more » http://www.thenewathenian.com/2014/01/greeks-desperately-seek-good-authority.html

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

Photograph of a branch of the Bank of Cyprus taken by Kevin E. Dayhoff on a recent trip to Crete in Greece. http://twitpic.com/ccbtw6

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

Big fat Greek surprises January 30, 2013 by Kevin Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/bf877cf

Kevin E. Dayhoff http://twitpic.com/bzmojj

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

Demonstrations in Athens January 15, 2013 By Kevin E. Dayhoff http://tinyurl.com/bfr3n6u

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…”

[…] http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5566

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.

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…
