Greek Deputy Finance Minister Mardas: We Are Ready to Pay IMF on April 9
Greek Deputy Finance Minister Dimitris Mardas expressed his optimism today that Greece will be able to repay a loan tranche of 450 million euros to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), ruling out scenarios that the country will run out of money by that date. “We strive to be able to pay our obligations on time. We are ready to pay on April 9,” Mr. Mardas declared, explaining that the state revenue in March topped the targets. Moreover, the Deputy Finance Minister, said that there has been significant progress in talks with the country’s international creditors, regarding its revised reforms list. Rumors of Greece possibly being unable to repay its debt to the IMF fired up last week, after Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis in an interview with the German daily newspaper Der Spiegel, revealed that if the country’s creditors do unlock further funds by next Thursday, April 9, the government would first pay salaries and pensions and then come to an agreement on repaying the IMF late. The newly elected SYRIZA-led government’s response to the above comments came immediately, with government spokesperson Gavriil Sakellaridis denying such a development. “There is no chance that Greece will not meet its obligations to the IMF on April 9,” he said in an interview with the Bloomberg — although word had already spread and international media reported that Athens would be unable to fulfill its commitments. Greece’s lenders have frozen aid until it implements reforms, currently being negotiated between the leftist government and the institutions, participating in its bailout program. The last time Greece received bailout funds was in August 2014 and has already borrowed from state entities to avoid a cash crunch. The Greek leftist government officials are expecting that the reforms package will be soon approved by the creditors’ institutions and that would signal the green light to unlock the remaining aid of 7.2 billion euros and lead to the return of some 1.9 billion euros in profits made by the European Central Bank (ECB) on Greek bonds. On the other hand, German Chancellor Angela Merkel insists that Greece would only receive fresh funds if its list of reforms is accepted. Earlier this week, during a Euro Working Group (EWG) teleconference, the Greek side proposed a new list of economic reforms to its creditors including, among others, measures on taxation, privatizations, public sector, labor market and healthcare. The list was firstly obtained by The Financial Times and journalist Peter Spiegel who wrote: “Indeed, the proposal appears to reverse past reforms in several of these areas. The document includes 1.1 billion euros in new spending this year, more than half of it reinstating a so-called ’13th pension’ — an extra months’ pay — for low-income pensioners. The document suggests that change would add 600 million euros this year.” It also would suspend a so-called “zero deficit clause’ that would force further cuts to state pensions; the measure would add another 326 million euros this year.

Can Ukraine save itself from Vladimir Putin and the oligarchs?
In Kiev, I see signs of a nation being forged in bitter conflict. But it’ll require a heroic effort to succeed‘Welcome to the nation state of Ukraine,” says Mustapha Dzhemilev, a diminutive, soft-spoken 71-year-old leader of the Crimean Tatars, gentle on the outside, hard as steel within. He was deported from Crimea on Stalin’s orders in 1944, when he was just six months old, along with so many fellow Tatars. Persecuted under Soviet rule, he went on hunger strike for 303 days. A year ago, after Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea, this quiet fighter was banned from re-entering the peninsula his forebears had inhabited for centuries, long before the Russians did. And now here he is in Kiev, welcoming us to a new Ukraine.“Putin can win some battles but Ukraine will win the war – with our passion, with our willingness to die,” says Hanna Hopko. For now “we have the political nation”. Hopko, 33, is the chair of the Ukrainian parliament’s foreign affairs committee, one of a vanguard of young female MPs, self-professed heirs to the Euromaidan demonstrations, who now rattle off the details of political transformation plans faster than a rapper on speed.Here is a state so corrupted that those who should be its doctors are its poisoners Related: Europe must not treat Ukraine like another Greece | George Soros Continue reading...

Spiegel: IMF Temporarily Recalls Staff from Athens
The International Monetary Fund has temporarily recalled its staff from Athens distressed by the slow progress and lack of cooperation from the Greek side, according to Der Spiegel. The German magazine says that a staff member said that Greek General Secretary of Fiscal Policy Nikos Theocharakis during the most recent teleconference has called the technical team of the Brussels Group — the representatives of creditors — “completely incompetent.” The slow pace of negotiations and the attitude of the Greek team of technocrats has forced the IMF to recall its staff from Greece for a few days, the report says. Negotiations between Greek officials and the IMF will continue after the Greek Orthodox Easter (April 12). IMF says that the two sides will meet again in mid-April since the Greek team want to interrupt talks for Easter holidays. Der Spiegel says that Theocharakis was on the same wavelength as Greek Minister of the Interior Nikos Voutsis who stated in the same magazine that if Greece does not receive any money from its European partners and the European Central Bank by April 9, “then we will pay salaries and pensions first, and then we will ask the IMF for a special agreement with the understanding that we will delay the payment of 450 million euros to them.” According to Der Spiegel, the general secretary of the ministry of finance said exactly the same things Voutsis said, namely that Greece will not be able to pay the installment to the IMF next week. Government spokesperson Gavriil Sakellaridis stated on Thursday that the Greek government will make a timely payment to the IMF on April 9.

Greek Citizens’ Protection Dep Min: A Leftist Government Doesn’t Mean Lawlessness
An editorial in Ta Nea newspaper written by Deputy Citizens’ Protection Minister Yiannis Panousis criticizing the far-leftist attitudes of some cabinet members has caused an uproar within the SYRIZA-led government. The invasion by anarchists in the courtyard of the Greek Parliament and the repeated sit-ins in universities and other public buildings prompted the minister to write the editorial in which he uses some very caustic phrases and words in criticizing the leftist government for its ambiguous stance on major issues such as civil rights and public order. Panousis wrote that “we don’t need a government that is the left of nothing… a leftist government doesn’t mean an anarchist has the right to burn a policeman.” He also indirectly accused the SYRIZA cabinet of doing nothing except compete with each other over who is more leftist, or wasting their energy on meaningless slogans. He also said we shouldn’t confuse democracy with lawlessness. Panousis’ comments generated a strong reaction from SYRIZA members. The party’s parliamentary representative Nikos Filis commented on Panousis in a statement saying that the minister’s work is to secure public order and protect the citizens, not to comment on events. “We are not the left of nothing… the comment was not addressed to the government.” Parliament Vice President Yiannis Balafas said, “I wouldn’t write something like that… Mr. Panousis has followed a low profile policy on the particular events.” SYRIZA MP Vasilis Diamantopoulos wrote on twitter that the minister cannot apply his personal politics. MP Rachel Makri said on ANT1 television that Panousis is a minister and not a commentator and that he owes an apology to certain people. Education Minister Aristides Baltas said that he agrees with the editorial stating that, “(universities) are places of knowledge, research, and free expression of ideas; people should go in there to work…. each government body has its own responsibilities.” Finally, SYRIZA MP Theodora Tzakri said on Mega television that she agrees with the minister’s statements. “Mr. Panousis stated the obvious, in my opinion.”

The evolution of politics in Europe: The end of the two-party system?
Local elections in France and Spain have seen the rise of a new political phenomenon. In both countries, an embryonic three-party system has emerged: parties normally excluded from alternating terms in government have made electoral breakthroughs. Some did not even exist a couple of years ago, and all are born from the fallout of the economic crisis. In Spain, local elections in AndalucÃa – held on 22 March and won by the Socialist Party against the People’s Party – witnessed the irruption of two new political forces. Podemos (“We Can”) and Ciudadanos (“Citizens”) tallied up a quarter of the votes and have now become the region’s third and fourth strongest parties, respectively. And this was only the first electoral contest this year in Spain: municipal and other local elections are to be held in May, while legislative elections take place in the autumn. Podemos had found unexpected success in the 2014 European elections and is to Spain what Syriza is to Greece: a party wanting to break with the politics of austerity imposed across Europe. Ciudadanos was born in 2006 on more centrist principles and has shot to popularity thanks to voters’ discontent with the economic crisis and corruption among Spain’s main parties. It amounts to a “political earthquake”, José Oneto writes on the website República de las Ideas — the two-party system, the base for how the country functions since the beginning of the transition to democracy, is on the brink of disappearing. El PaÃs meanwhile attributes the end of traditional bipartism to citizens’ new democratic demands — A new generation is taking power, and it is clear that citizens are clamouring for a new approach to governing and representing the interests of the electorate. There is no doubt that the electorate is seeking new solutions to social and economic problems without wanting to dismantle a democratic system that they still believe in. But it would be completely false to label this a crisis of the two-party system, as certain politicians and newspapers repeat so obsessively. The question is equally valid in France, where the Front National (FN) under Marine Le Pen, fresh from its triumph in the 2014 European elections, once again appeared unstoppable in the first round of departmental elections on 22 May. It seems to have overturned the interminable “alteration without alternatives” between the centre-right Union for a Popular Movement and the centre-left Socialist Party. Le Monde observes that “a new development is the breakthrough of an extreme right party in areas that, until now, had remained unreceptive to its message”. There were a great many “three-way contests” in “cantons” (electoral wards) where the FN made it to the second round of voting. “The fundamental rule of the political and electoral game for 50 years has been totally blown away by these three-way contests,” Le Monde columnist Gérard Courtois claims. He goes on to predict the elimination of one of the two main parties “in the first round” of the next presidential election in 2017. The phenomenon is affecting other European countries and is part of a trend common to a number of Europe’s democracies, Diario.es reports — In Austria, in Germany, in Sweden and in the UK, the two major political forces have been losing support for decades.

Greek PM Tsipras Announces Abolition of €5 Fee to Access Hospitals and Hiring of 4,500 Healthcare Workers
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras visited the Health Ministry on April 2, announcing that his SYRIZA-led government will improve public health care in the country through the abolition of a compulsory 5-euro fee for treatment and the hiring of some 4,500 specialized staff. Addressing reporters and employees of the Minister, Mr. Tsipras underlined that some of the reforms passed from the Greek Parliament over the past few years, as part of the austerity measures imposed by the memoranda, have damaged the country’s health system. The newly elected leftist government is working to repeal them, he said. “The national health service had problems before the bailout, but it is obvious that in the last four or five years, the bailout choices and reforms were a nuclear bomb at the foundations of the national health service,” the Greek Premier noted, adding that his government will cancel the “unacceptable” 5-euro treatment fee. “We are already working on interventions to abolish bailout measures that have contributed to the destruction of health service,” Mr. Tsipras explained. “We want to turn the health sector from a victim of the bailouts, a victim of austerity, into a fundamental right for every resident of this country and we commit to do so at any cost. All citizens, after this terrifying crisis, should have access to healthcare irrespective of whether they have insurance or not,” he concluded. Greece spends 11 billion euros per year on its public healthcare system. The amount, among the lowest among the the European Union member states, is accounting for about 5% of its state budget, while some 2.5 million Greeks have no health insurance. Alexis Tsipras was the first Prime Minister to visit the Health Ministry in a period of ten years.
