Rescue of Greece is Hanging on a Wedding Gift
By Con George-Kotzabasis
The
political debutantes of the Democratic Left under the foolish, unimaginative,
and weak leadership of Fotis Kouvelis will everlastingly be condemned for their
choice, at this critical moment for Greece, to dance ton choro tou Zalongou and
take Greece along in their plunge to the precipice. Their dogged stance on the
issue of the ergasiaka (working relations), when it is crystal clear that the IMF is determined not
even to contemplate or countenance any back-down on them, is highly imprudent and
especially most dangerous to the cohesion of the three-partite Samaras’
Government that is so vital in overcoming the economic and political crisis of
the country. Yet the impresario of this tragi-comedy, Fotis Kouvelis, is not
unwilling to sacrifice on the altar of a “wedding gift” the resuscitation of
Greece from its economically comatose state. Ludicrously for the Democratic
Left, the imperative rescue of Greece is hanging on a clause of working
relations that grants to workers a wedding gift.
