Time for troika to grant Greek exodus

Germany and the eurozone “authorities” are thinking primarily of their own interests in prolonging an impossible position for Greece; “supporting” it while simultaneously imposing myriad levels of conditionality.

Insistence by the troika on further cuts, to be followed by yet another austerity budget, as the price for unlocking additional funding has now precipitated a political crisis.

The long, drawn-out struggle is doing more damage to the Greek people and to the eurozone than would a calm and managed exit. It is certain that the contingency arrangements are already in place and that the communiques are written.
