Euclid Tsakalotos: Greek finance minister on the hard path of post-bailout reform
Syriza’s economist talks about the drawbacks of Grexit, the need for debt relief and the task of pursuing the elite for unpaid taxes Euclid Tsakalotos, the Greek finance minister, has Europe’s most unenviable job. If there is one thing on which he and his critics agree it is that. As economics chief of a country not far removed from economic meltdown, in its worst recession in post-war history, stricken by debt and dependent on international aid, his is a lot few would crave. Even now – almost five months to the day after it was bailed out for a third time since 2010 – Greece’s future hangs in the balance. Continue reading...

AP EXPLAINS: The rise of German Chancellor Angela Merkel
Merkel, 61, is the European Union's longest-serving head of government and has been a serial winner of Forbes magazine's title of world's most powerful woman. Merkel helped negotiate the Kyoto accord to curb greenhouse gas emissions as environment minister in the 1990s. In the crisis over Ukraine, she has stuck doggedly to efforts to keep the leaders of Russia and Ukraine talking in the face of repeated setbacks in implementing a peace accord, while also backing sanctions against Russia. Merkel has been a dominant figure in shaping Europe's response to the debt crisis that started unfolding in Greece six years ago and flared anew this year. [...] Merkel has stuck to her optimistic insistence that "we will manage it" and refused to name a limit to the number of people Germany can take in, despite mounting criticism from conservative allies.

And Time's 2015 Person Of The Year Is...
Time's 2015 person of the year is German Chancellor Angela Merkel. "In a year where world leaders were tested, no one was tested the way she was," explained Time Editor-in-Chief Nancy Gibbs on NBC's "Today." Merkel managed the economic collapse in Greece this summer, and has been at the forefront of handling Europe's massive refugee influx this fall along with the "return of terrorism" in Europe, Gibbs said. "She has stepped up in a way that was uncharacteristic," Gibbs added, given her history of leading from behind. "Merkel brandished a different set of values -- humanity, generosity, tolerance -- to demonstrate how Germany’s great strength could be used to save, rather than destroy," Gibbs wrote in Time's cover story. Germany is poised to accept up to one million refugees by the end of 2015. France, in comparison, is taking in 30,000 over the next two years. She is the first female POTY in 29 years. Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, the leader of the Islamic State, made it to Time's number two spot. "This year, he went from building a regional power to building a transnational terrorist franchise. He poses such a significant challenge," Gibbs noted. "We have named great villains in the past, but in his case this is a year in which he has lost ground -- literally -- and his power is part opportunism. He has taken great advantage." Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump was Time's third runner-up. "All year long he has been saying things that were disqualifying," Gibbs said. Time has never named a presidential candidate as POTY. Others included on Time's shortlist are Black Lives Matter activists, Caitlyn Jenner, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Hassan Rouhani. _ALSO ON HUFFPOST:_ -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
