Nephew of Fidel Castro Denies Rumors of Cuban Leader’s Death from Athens
Alejandro Castro Espin — son of current Cuban leader, Raul Castro, and nephew of iconic figure of the Cuban Revolution and former leader of the island, Fidel Castro — during a visit in Athens, denied the rumors of his uncle’s death, pointing out that he met with Fidel Castro two days before he left Cuba. Furthermore, he underlined that his uncle is very healthy and working as usual, while he added that if something happened to the historic leader of Cuba he would be amongst the first to know it, along with the Cuban people. Alejandro Castro Espin who visited Haidari, in western Athens, reiterated he is delighted to be in Greece and thanked the Greek people for their hospitality, as they made him feel like home. He also spoke of the similarities between the Greek and the Cuban people saying, “We have always been close to each other, despite the distance and the sea between us, despite one being in the East and the other in the West,” he highlighted. Furthermore, on Thursday, Alejandro Castro Espin visited with internationally acclaimed Greek composer, Mikis Theodorakis and described the two hours they spent together as historic. The Mayor of Haidari, Mihalis Selekos, hosted a lunch in honor of the Cuban official, during which he accompanied the orchestra singing the song “Hasta siempre comandante,” dedicated to Che Guevara.

German Economist: 50% of the Greek Debt Should be Written Off
“We should probably reduce Greece’s public debt to half, which means 120 billion euros should be written off. This is what the German chief economist, head of the German Institute for Economic Research (DIY) and major government advisor, Marcel Fratzscher proposed today in an interview on public Austrian Radio. Furthermore, the German official added that one could easily estimate that this could possibly harm his country’s government, as such a move would cost the country 40 to 50 billion euros. As Mr. Fratzscher underlined, though, the German government is highly likely to bare the political cost of it. He believes that in the long term there should be thoughts on whether Greece could return to a sustainable track and have the chance to uplift. In his interview, Mr. Fratzscher expressed the view that other countries are not at risk from the Greek crisis, although the possibility of a Grexit should worry its European partners. Although, as he highlighted such a development is rather highly unlikely. He said a Grexit would not be efficient for Greece nor Europe, as this would guarantee a further economic crisis in Greece, which could last up to five or ten years.

OPAP’s Privatization ‘Not a Done Deal’ SYRIZA Leader Claims
The privatization of OPAP, the former state betting agency, “is not a done event,” main opposition Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) leader Alexis Tsipras warned on Friday in Athens. “For us, the national crime of privatizing OPAP, especially under the scandalous terms this was done with, is not a done event,” Tsipras told the national federation of lottery agents about the 2013 privatization. “A government based on SYRIZA will not say ‘Que sera, sera’,” he added and asserted his party’s government would never allow the rampant creation of casinos. “We support the natural network of existing lottery agencies in Greece and the family businesses comprising them which guard against large gambling interests and profiteering rampages on neighborhoods.” (source: ana-mpa)

Greek SYRIZA Party Leader: Markets Won’t Be Rooting for Us
Greek main opposition party, SYRIZA, leader, Alexis Tsipras, does not appear “frightened” by possible turmoil in the market should his party win the upcoming snap general elections of January 25, as Bloomberg reports. As he stated in his book “Alexis Tsipras, my left” — which is to be published in Italy next week — we already know that “markets certainly won’t be rooting for us and there’s a chance that initially they will show some aggressiveness towards a left government,” adding that “the more you need money, the higher is the interest markets require.” After failing to elect the sole candidate, Stavros Dimas, as a new President of the Hellenic Republic, Greek Prime Minister, Antonis Samaras, was forced to snap elections, while ten- year bonds were climbing above 10% and leftish SYRIZA was steadily leading the polls only three weeks in advance of the critical elections of January 25. The Greek premier’s argument includes, amongst others, the speculation that a possible SYRIZA electoral win might mean the end of the Greece’s Eurozone “dream,” as its leader, Alexis Tsipras, has already promised wage and pension increases along with a write off of most of the country’s debt. “Additionally, as to markets perception, the issue of debt negotiation is fundamentally important,” Tsipras told reek journalist Teodoros Andreadis Synghellakis, in the question-and-answer style book, while SYRIZA vows a write off of most of the nominal value of Greece’s debt once elected. “That’s what was done for Germany in 1953, it should be done for Greece in 2015,” Mr. Tsipras highlighted in a speech in Athens earlier on January. “The solution is balanced budgets to strongly limit the need to borrow money. Holding to a budget balance goal is really a key point in our strategy, as it gives us the possibility to negotiate from a strong position. That said, we need to say that budget balance doesn’t mean resorting to austerity per se,” the Greek main opposition leader underlines in the book.

Greek PM Samaras: Rifts, Reforms and Competitiveness Everywhere
With the words “rifts, reforms and competitiveness everywhere” Prime Minister and New Democracy leader Antonis Samaras presented live on TV his party’s National Plan of Reforms and Development on Saturday. “Some want the businessman’s partisan state, others the prevalence of statism but what we want is growth” he said adding that the country must start to produce again with an outward-looking economy. “We must create an environment that will support the entrepreneurship and that will liberalize the people’s dynamic. The Greek government prevented the country’s exit from the eurozone while a political party exists that wants to set a trap to the Greek people” he said. OECD in its report placed Greece among the first countries in reforms. A storm of changes and reforms took place in the country in conditions of crisis. In the coming years we will proceed to reforms in conditions of growth, said Samaras adding that “we have closed three very difficult State Budgets and now we can leave from the memorandum a year earlier. We began to develop the state’s property that can bring investments and revenues to the state while some others still dream of renationalization, something that is not applied anywhere. Thirdly, a balanced budget was voted and now the state covers its needs and we have money to pay the debt’s interests. (source: ana-mpa)
