SYRIZA insists on a "rigged exit" to the markets

SYRIZA believes that the much talked about Greek exit to the markets, around May, is a sign of government propaganda that wants to maintain and confirm the famous success story, and so it sharpens its criticism, talking about a rigged game. Alexis Tsipras’ denunciation is not accidental, nor will be limited on the exit to the markets, as the party believes that the government will attempt to stage a backdrop of the European elections with supposedly good news for the economy but also a dirty war against SYRIZA.

 

The main opposition party insists on the exit to the markets, even though there are minor intraparty reservations about the importance of having such a confrontation with the government.

 

It also says that Prime Minister Antonis Samaras himself was talking a month ago for a "test", that is, symbolic exit to the markets, aiming to change the psychology, which fits in the pre-election planning and in no way aims to meet the borrowing needs of the country.

 

According to SYRIZA and because the lending rate in this effort will range around 6%, thus higher than that of Treasury bills and the ESM, the trial exit will be limited, agreed in advance and expensive.

 

The party is also preparing an overall attack on the government as to how it deals with the debt problem and how it prepares the ground for the negotiations.

 
Party officials say the government essentially undermines the discussions on debt relief itself when it appears at first saying that the program is successful, based on the supposed large primary surplus of 2013, and that supposedly the country can make an exit to the markets now. "But if all this is true, then why should the lenders accept any deal to reduce the debt?" SYRIZA is reasonably wondering.
