Financial Times Claims Samaras’ Attitude Threatens Greece

The Financial Times claim that Samaras’ attitude is a threat to Greece’s national salvation. In an article published in The Financial Times, it is reported that international creditors of Greece have followed the “freezing” of the government’s economic and financial reforms with growing frustration this year.

More bad news was added to the general fustration of the creditors, when Opposition leader Antonis Samaras defied their recommendations by announcing that he would vote against the new austerity measures.

The opposition leader has stressed the risk of deep divisions in the political establishment, along with the bureaucracy that has brought Greece closer to bankruptcy.

”The Troika has already made ​​it clear that it disagrees with Samaras’s proposals for sweeping tax cuts to stimulate the economy, saying that “they are not realistic or consistent with the overall objectives of Greece’s economic adjustment program”, stated the Financial Times.

The newspaper also stated that the real purpose of Mr. Samaras is to win the next elections, with the possibility of early voting growing day by day, according to both sides’ view.

The opposition of Samaras to the new austerity measures, added the paper, is partly due to the fact that if he supported them, he would admit that the blunders of New Democracy’s government in the period 2004-2009 have made the expenditure cuts, tax increases, and structural reforms necessary .
