Κύριε Παπανδρέου, αυτό είναι το γράμμα που στείλατε στους Ευρωπαίους πρωθυπουργούς; Γιατί λείπει η αναφορά σε εκλογές…

Πολύ αξιόπιστη πηγή μας έστειλε την ακόλουθη επιστολή. Έτσι όπως την βλέπουμε, είναι η περιβόητη επιστολή που απέστειλε σε όλους τους Ευρωπαίους ηγέτες. Η συγκεκριμένη απευθύνθηκε στην Ιρλανδία, λογικά όμως είναι πανομοιότυπες.

…που είναι λοιπόν η αναφορά στις εκλογές;

Athens, 1 November 2011

H.E. Mr. Enda Kenny
Taoiseach of Ireland

Dear Taoiseach,

The decision of the European Council of 26 October

is of historical significance for Greece. Thanks to the support of the Euro Area Member States, the European institutions (European Commission, ECB) and the IMF, Greece acquires a new multi—annual adjustment programme. The 26 October decision also provides for a more substantial contribution of the private sector to a plan that makes the Greek public debt sustainable according to the IMF Debt Sustainability Analysis.

The Greek government is fully aware of its obligations towards the Euro Area Member States, the European institutions and the IMF. It shares these objectives as necessary to make the greek economy a sustainable one. We see as fundamental to the 26 October decision the implementation of all policy measures in the areas of fiscal adjustment, structural reforms and privatizations.

The Greek government is decided to fully honour these obligations, as they appear in the latest version of the MEFP, the MoU and the Medium Term Fiscal Strategy. Therefore, all implementation Laws that have been voted by the Greek Parliament will be effectively implemented without any slippages. Our decisiveness also refers to our commitments as concerns the 2011 and 2012 budgets, as have been agreed with the Troika, and which aim at producing primary surpluses in 2012.

In the framework of the 26 October decision, the Greek government stands ready to agree with the Troika and its institutional partners on a new programme and a new loan agreement by the end of 2011. Also, the Greek government together with the Euro Working Group, the IMF and the euro area member states have already started the preparations for the new PSI, which aims at reducing the Greek debt to 120% of GDP by 2020, following a 50% reduction in the privately held debt.

The Greek government will move swiftly and decisively, in close cooperation with its institutional partners, to achieve a high participation rate for the private sector involvement.

As you are aware, the domestic political and social situation in Greece is particularly tense and critical. The Greek Government considers these decisions of historical importance for the country and the Greek people. However, all opposition parties are absolutely and intensely opposed to the Government’s policies and have fiercely and publicly rejected the October 26 decisions. General strikes, occupations of public buildings, shutting down the Ministry of Finance, disrupting the educational process in schools and universities, demonstrations, violent clashes in Athens and other cit
