The elections of Greece

The draconian cuts to the social well-being
México. – The States, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) they offered their support to the leader of the New Democracy party, Antonis Samara (AS), for the victory of their party in the parliamentary elections, while the government from Germany hurried to notice that adjustment financier's program won't be renegotiation object. "It cannot have substantial changes in the agreements but we imagine that one could speak once again of the terms, since the reality is that in Greece there has been a hole of political power for the elections", the German minister of External relationships, Guido Westerwelle said (GW). He added that, there is not form of leaving the reformations". “Greece should be adjusted to that agreed."

This news traveled the world and it was reflected in the appreciation of the Eurus in front of the dollar and the yen in the markets of foreign currencies, after several days of speculation. As for the White House it was pronounced in favor of that “Greece remains in the area of the Eurus, while it respects its commitment with the reformation", and it highlighted the importance that “this election takes quickly to the formation of a new bureau". In a combined declaration, the president of the European Union (EU), Herman goes Rompuy, and the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, they underlined the “quick formation of a new government". The International Monetary Fund (IMF) it also made public its will of “to help to that Greece achieves its objectives of reestablishing the financial stability."

The left-wing doesn't see the results as a defeat
It had not still finished the recount of votes that they transmitted the means when the Eurus-group carried out its first official statement requesting a quick formation of a coalition government. The Greeks still gather in coffees and they joined in family to enjoy the soccer, and they received the information in which highlights the recount of 60 percent of the votes, the victory of the party conservative New Democracy. The leader of the left, Alexis Tsipras, was hangs for the international media, and he congratulated his political opponent openly.

The German minister GW assures that Europe will have to give more time to Greece to reduce its deficit. While the ‘troika’ formed by the European Commission, the European Central Bank (ECB), and the IMF confirmed that it would return to Athens as soon as there was a new Executive to fix the one in way to continuing. The very not very underhanded relief of the European leaders coincided with the results that they left publishing. They were scarce people that dared to assure then that they would have enough a coalition with the other traditional party to form the government that the economic sectors dreamt.

Cut draconian
The social sectors that resisted the economic measures of crash were frustrated the hope that Athens renegotiated the referred agreements and a heterodox economic politics adopted to leave the serious crisis in that it is. The formation of left-side Syriza that he offered to traffic for second route, it was in second place in the elections, with little more than 27%, and with them it loses any possibility to conform a government of sovereignty type and popular able to resist the European demands and of the international financial organisms. For the big world political and corporate interests, the result electoral Greek is a good news, in the measure in that they constitute a backing to the economic strategies that glorify the liquidation of the State of well-being, they transfer the costs from the crisis to the populations and capital concentrations, like it has been done with the protection package recently adopted by the community Europe for the banks private Spaniards.

The corruption, the economic crisis and the submission to the verdicts of the exterior caused Giorgos Papandreu's exit first and now a historical collapse of the party of Evangelos Venizelos's hand. In spite of this it is predicted that the same formations that have taken to Greece until this end will be these circumstances those that will take the next steps in the politics. The increase of the Greek population's desperation has gone in parallel with the results gotten by Siriza during the last plebiscites. Of 4.5 percent gotten in 2009, the party was able “to steal” votes to the traditional parties in almost all the districts. So in the party won’t see these results like a defeat.

A follower of New Democracy argued her vote in the following way argued: "It is a logical vote. If Europe says that the best thing for the country is new Democracy, we will be had to support". Hours later this same woman celebrated in Zappeio to the Parliament's side, while the sympathetic of Syriza concentrated on Propulaia, to a side of the National Library, place emblematic for the manifestations, because they also had celebration reasons, mainly if it takes into account that hardly some months ago they only had 4 percent of the preferences, and in this ride they reached 27 percent. What prevails in the political atmosphere is the uncertainty.

The paper should not be ignored carried out in yesterday's election in Greece for the insistent message that has become propaganda; about an imminent catastrophe in case Syriza obtained a flow of votes that allows it to form government and to face the recessive measures imposed to the Hellenic nation. The apocalyptic threats formulated by the EU to the Greek electorate constitute a kind of blackmail and they helped to configure an unequivocal vote of the fear.
