  • Greece: Five Years After the Syriza Government and the Referendum
    Greece: Five Years After the Syriza Government and the Referendum Alexis Tsipras In 2015, the electoral victory of Syriza (the Coalition of the Radical Left) in Greece, following dozens of one and two-day general strikes and a vibrant set of social movements, raised the prospects of a “rupture” with the Eurozone and the opening of a continent-wide confrontation with austerity in the wake of the Great Recession. But it was not to be. Syriza Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras pulled back from a clash and set the party on a path to accommodation with the bankers and a set of brutal attacks on Greek workers. In this article, AntonisDavanellos analyzes both the development of Syriza—including the internal power plays by party leader Alexis Tsipras and his inner circle in the run up to the party’s 2015 electoral victor— and Tsipras’ decision to override the July 2015 people’s referendum in favor of signing an austerity Memorandum with European creditors and the subsequent right-ward drift and split in Syriza, as well as lessons for how revolutionary forces can operate within broader left political parties and formations to prepare for inevitable conflicts with reformist forces. —– After the 2019 elections, when conservative Prime Pinister Kyriakos Mitsotakis succeeded Alexis Tsipras as head of the Greek government, a “new normal” appeared as a smooth continuation from the previous government’s mandate. After four and a half years under the Syriza ruling party that insisted on calling itself “the Radical Left,” the capitalists of Greece felt safer than during the 2015 panic when they rushed to transfer tens of billions of euros abroad.

    Yanis VaroufakisâEuros"s Account of the Greek Crisis: a Self-Incrimination Pt 1 https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article5474 Yanis VaroufakisâEuros"s Account of the Greek Crisis: a Self-Incrimination Pt 1 - Features - Economic and debt crisis - Publication date: Wednesday 25 April 2018 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/39 Yanis VaroufakisâEuros"s Account of the Greek Crisis: a Self-Incrimination Pt 1 Proposals Doomed to Fail In his latest book, Adults in the Room [1] Yanis Varoufakis gives us his version of the events that led to the Tsipras governmentâEuros"s shameful capitulation in July 2015. It essentially analyses the period 2009-2015, though it makes incursions into earlier periods. With this voluminous work (550 pages), Yanis Varoufakis shows that he is a gifted narrator. At times he succeeds in moving the reader. His direct and vivid style makes it easy to follow events. From the authorâEuros"s demonstration, we can clearly see that his behaviour and the politico-economic orientation he defended contributed to the disaster. Yanis Varoufakis clearly claims to have played a major role in working out the strategy adopted by a handful of Syriza leaders âEuros" Alexis Tsipras, Yanis Dragasakis, and Nikkos Pappas, essentially âEuros" before their victory in the January 2015 election. Varoufakis does not plead guilty. He is convinced that had Tsipras actually taken the orientation he proposed and which Tsipras had agreed to late in 2014, the result would not have been defeat for the Greek people. Contrary to the conviction Varoufakis expresses, an attentive reading of his book leads to the conclusion that he contributed to that defeat Varoufakis explains how he gradually convinced Tsipras, Pappas, and Dragasakis not to follow the orientation adopted by Syriza in 2012, then in 2014.

    When will workers start the next act in Greece? https://internationalviewpoint.org/spip.php?article4404 Greece When will workers start the next act in Greece? - IV Online magazine - 2016 - IV494 - March 2016 - Publication date: Tuesday 22 March 2016 Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine - All rights reserved Copyright © International Viewpoint - online socialist magazine Page 1/5 When will workers start the next act in Greece? Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and his government are preparing to confront a new round of protests and strikes as the European authorities—often referred to as the Troika of the European Union (EU), European Central Bank (ECB) and International Monetary Fund (IMF)—demand even deeper cuts on top of the drastic austerity measures of the third Memorandum that Tsipras agreed to last July. The mass support that Tsipras and the remnants of the radical SYRIZA has been crumbling since the September 2015 election after the party's left wing was driven out and formed the core of the new organization Popular Unity. Antonis Davanellos is a leading member of the Internationalist Workers Left (DEA, by its initials in Greek) and the Red Network, which are both part of Popular Unity. In this article, first published in DEA's press, then in French at the A l'encontre website, and translated here by Todd Chretien, analyzes the escalating antagonisms, inside and outside the government. Greece's Council of Political Leaders was convened on March 4 by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras who heads a Greek government determined to apply every deadly austerity demand made by the international institutions—known as the Troika—along with the core of Greek capital.

  • Greek-Cabinet-2015-Hallmun.Pdf
    Letter from the Chair Esteemed Delegates, Welcome to HallMUN! I am Kaitlyn Akroush, you chair for this committee. I am currently a second year student at Seton Hall University, double majoring in Diplomacy/International Relations and Philosophy. I have been a part of the Seton Hall United Nations Association since my freshman year and have truly enjoyed every bit of it. I have traveled and attended multiple conferences, participating in both GA and Crisis Committees. This crisis committee in particular will deal with the Greek economic crisis of 2015, caused by both the 2007 global financial crisis as well as Greece’s own financial limitations and EU-imposed austerity measures. Background information is crucial to this committee, as ​ delegates will need to examine both the causes and effects of this fragile economy. As a committee, it is up to you to find resourceful and practical solutions to the imminent crisis Greece faces. Will you steer the country on a new path to economic independence and prosperity, or will you continue to rely on external resources indefinitely? The staff of the “Less Money, More Problems, the Cabinet of Alexis Tspiras, ​ 2015” have invested time to construct the topics of discussion and we are eager to see ​ how you plan to solve the many problems presented. We wish you the best of luck with your research and preparation. If you have any questions please do not hesitate to email. Καλή τύχη! Good luck! Best, Kaitlyn Akroush Chair, “Less Money, More Problems, the Cabinet of Alexis Tspiras, 2015” [email protected] Letter from the Crisis Director Hello Delegates! Welcome to the first ever HallMun!
