In a key week for his country and for the euro, Prime Minister of Greece, Antonis Samaras, begins Wednesday a political offensive with a meeting with the head of the Eurogroup (finance ministers of the euro area), Jean-Claude Juncker, Athens to persuade him that his country is willing to carry out the reforms imposed in exchange for bailouts, but need more time to do it.
"All we want is a little air to breathe, to make the economy improves and state revenues increase," Samaras said in an interview published Wednesday in the German newspaper Bild. "Let me be very explicit," the prime minister added: "We are not asking for additional money. We are attached to our commitments, but we have to start the economic growth to reduce the financial gap." Samaras thus addresses the troika (the institutional trio formed by the European Commission, the European Central Bank, ECB, and the International Monetary Fund, IMF, which has rescued the country twice Hellenic).
Samaras stressed that so far the country has addressed the structural reforms demanded by international creditors, but has admitted that throughout this process have made several mistakes. "We're making progress. We have reduced the number of staff and have decided to hire only one person per ten retirees," he recalled. "Soon we will have a smaller public sector, healthy and efficient."
Apparently, the next cuts will mean the layoff of 40,000 employees, reducing public wages, pensions, social benefits and health care. Moreover, Samaras has rejected Greece leaving the euro. "It would be a nightmare: economic collapse, social unrest and a crisis of unprecedented democracy. Would mean at least another five years of recession and an unemployment rate above 40 percent."
The prime minister will meet Wednesday with the head of the Eurogroup, Jean-Claude Juncker. Throughout this week will also meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Francois HIn these quotes Samaras is expected to press its European partners to get an extension of two years to reduce the deficit to three percent , which, under the current schedule, should meet at the end of 2014. In 2011, the deficit stood at 9.3 percent.
