Ziua a treia a tragediei grecesti dupa referendumul de duminica in care grecii, tinerii in majoritate, au respins masurile de austeritate si reforme impunse de troika in schimbul salvarii tarii de la faliment, consemneaza smerenia premierului Alexis Tsipras in Parlamentul European, desi a fost primit cu ovatii de partidele europene extremiste de stanga si dreapta.

El a admis ca doar grecii sunt de vina pentru situatia in care a ajuns tara, a spus ca vrea sa ramana in zona euro si ca este dispus sa initieze si reforme, dar vrea un acord "corect".

Primul pas spre negociere a fost facut, prin trimiterea unei scrisori in care se solicita un nou credit de la Mecanismul European de Stabilitate (ESM), cu promisiunea unor reforme. 

Cea care l-a pus aseara cu botul pe labe pe Tsipras, cancelarul german Angela Merkel, a reafirmat insa ca nu se pune problema iertarii Greciei de datorii, ci doar o reducere a poverii platilor (restructurare).

Pe de alta parte, Merkel a primit si un avertisment de la ministrul de Finante al Statelor Unite, Jacob Lew, care considera ca ar fi o greseala geopolitica lasarea Greciei sa falimenteze.

In aceste conditii, nu este exclusa o prelungire a tragediei grecesti dincolo de ziua de duminica, atunci cand liderii europeni au spus ca vor lua o decizie privind soarta Greciei. 

Intre timp, blocajul financiar din Grecia risca sa ia amploare, pentru ca BCE nu a majorat linia de finantare de urgenta. Totusi, seful BCE, Mario Draghi, a promis aseara ca va tine in viata bancile grecesti pana duminica.

Bancherul.ro a prezentat si astazi live criza din Grecia:

- Jacob Lew, ministrul de Finante al SUA (US Treasury Secretary), a declarat ca a lasa Grecia sa intre in faliment ar fi o greseala geopolitica a liderilor europeni.  

- BCE nu a majorat linia de finantare de urgenta pentru bancile grecesti, ci a mentinut-o la nivelul dinaintea referendumului, de 89 miliarde de euro; bancile raman inchise, limita de retragere numerar de la ATM-uri este 60 de euro. Seful BCE, Mario Draghi, a promis aseara sa mentina bancile grecesti in functiune pana duminica, atunci cand se va decide soarta tarii, la summit-ul UE -28 de la Bruxelles.

- Alexis Tsipras, premierul Greciei, s-a prezentat smerit (with a note of humility) in fata Parlamentului European, transmite Reuters. El a cerut un acord corect (fair deal), care sa mentina tara in zona euro, admitand ca Grecia este responsabila pentru situatia in care a ajuns, dupa ce a primit termen ca pana joi seara sa vina cu propuneri concrete de reforme economice pentru a putea primi in continuare bani care sa-i salveze tara de la faliment.

- Euclid Tsakalotos, noul ministru grec de finante, a trimis o scrisoare conducerii Mecanismului European de Stabilitate (ESM - European Stability Mechanism) in care solicita un nou ajutor de urgenta pe trei ani, angajandu-se ca Grecia va incepe reformele economice de saptamana viitoare. Planul de reforme trebuie detaliat si transmis pana vineri dimineata, la ora 8,30, iar duminica la un summit extins UE - 28 se va lua decizia de a-l aproba sau nu.

Iata textul scrisorii:

"Dear Chairperson and Managing Director,

On behalf of the Hellenic Republic ("the Republic" or "Greece"), I hereby present a request for stability support within the meaning of Articles 12 and 16 of the ESM Treaty given the risk to the financial stability of Greece as a member state and of the euro area as a whole.

Specifically, Greece seeks from the ESM a loan facility ("Loan" or "Programme") with an availability period for three years in accordance with the conditions provided in Article 13 of the ESM Treaty and in Article 2 in the Guideline of Loans. The Loan will be used to meet Greece's debt obligations and to ensure stability of the financial system.

Consistent with the principles of this medium to long term Programme, the Republic is committed to a comprehensive set of reforms and measures to be implemented in the areas of fiscal sustainability, financial stability, and long-term economic growth. Within the framework of the Programme, we propose to immediately implement a set of measures as early as the beginning of next week including:

• Tax reform related measures

• Pension related measures

We will also include additional actions that the Republic will undertake to further strengthen and modernize its economy.

The Greek government will on Thursday 9 July at the latest set out in detail its proposals for a comprehensive and specific reform agenda for assessment by the three Institutions to be presented to the Euro Group.

In addition to the above, it is the expressed goal by the Greek government that by the end of the availability period of the Loan or earlier, it regains full and affordable market financing to meet its future funding requirements as well as sustainable economic and financial situation.

As part of broader discussions to be held, Greece welcomes an opportunity to explore potential measures to be taken so that its official sector related debt becomes both sustainable and viable over the long term.

Greece is committed to honour its financial obligations to all of its creditors in a full and timely manner. We trust Member States appreciate the urgency of our Loan request at this time given the fragility of our banking system, our shortage of available liquidity, our upcoming obligations, our buildup of internal arrears, and our expressed desire to clear our outstanding arrears with the IMF and the Bank of Greece.

We reiterate the Greece's commitment to remain a member of the Eurozone and to respect the rules and regulations as a member state. We look forward to your favorable and timely consideration of our request.

For avoidance of doubt, this letter supersedes our previous request letter dated 30 June 2015.

Yours faithfully,
Minister of Finance"
