The breath of Tsipras becomes a symbol

A State has two ways of filling its box and carrying out its obligations: with debt or with taxes. Of course, it's never just one thing or another, because debt helps what's raised in taxes. Everything is in balance. It advises States not to incredit their austerity speeches and to reduce public spending. But at the same time, this speech recommends lowering taxes as the only way to stimulate economic activity and economic growth. Lower taxes and don't get debts, the same way you lower your money, the same way you cut it.

The force is placed on the extension of the cake tranche for further distribution, which represents an increase in GDP. But the domestic product has to go up a lot, as you see in many developing countries, so that very large sectors get more of that piece of cake. Most of the cake has been produced in Europe and the United States, with economic growth higher than in the last three decades. Greece, Spain, Ireland, Portugal… and to another extent most of the other EU states have also been affected in the last eight years: lowering economic growth, lowering taxes, getting into debt and implementing a policy of austerity of cuts.

Some EU countries have been affected much more than others, but it has affected the majority of citizens in all countries a great deal, mainly because there has been less wealth in the country and it has been distributed more unequally than before. Constant increase in capital income and decrease in labour income. How do you get it out of the whirlwind?

The whole weight of the question has now been focused on Greece. Alexis Tsipras is now “more than a dream” and the Hellenic country “the struggle of desire and power filled with stormy places”. How is Syriza going to leave the storm? No one knows as well as the supporters of the dream would want, but better than what the Greek oligarchy would like. The symbol has been its victory and its development as a symbol.

The citizen wants to improve, but in general he knows that, even with the best will, it is impossible to get out of the situation in which he lives in a short time. It has been easy in three years to shift the Greek public debt from 120 to 170 per cent, and that the majority of the population will be dragged into poverty measures that they would never have imagined. It will be very difficult to return to the previous situation, as demonstrated by the history of setbacks in the defence of the majority and in the distribution of wealth.

Tsipras says that the war is now beginning, but at least he wins the first battle: four more months to pay the debt. If we had to obey the Troika before, it is no longer the case today. Tsipras no longer has water in the line of the lips, has gone down to the chin and it is not a little. Have you left or won? Why did the conservative leader Antoni Samaras not succeed?

It is a matter of direction, gradually and gaining majorities, there is no other way to turn the situation in Greece around. Syriza has its biggest enemy in the sucking oligarchy in the area, not in the EU, or in Germany, but how the change of direction would be accelerated if Brussels relaxed the rope a little.

In the reforms that Brussels promised the previous government over 400,000 public jobs were lost. Tsipras has restored 3,500 of these jobs, and that was not Brussels's pleasure. Among the measures to be presented by Tsipras to Brussels are, for example, the anti-corruption plan, anti-fuel measures and tobacco smuggling. With them, Athens intends to raise more than EUR 6 billion. What is that to give back the EUR 240 billion you have received as a rescue aid since 2010? I just breathed. Will Brussels accept that margin?

Greece paid EUR 12 billion in debt interest in 2011, in 2015 it paid EUR 3.5 billion for the fall in interest rates, of which Spain earns some EUR 600 million each year, but it will never be able to face up to its full debt if much of it is not disbursed. Everyone knows that.

But continuing with the cuts, Tsipras is also not given the usual 100 days to assess the activity of any authority. Results are desired after 30 days. That is why every breath of his breath has become a symbol for every citizen who wants a change in the EU. Symbol of dignity.
