Greek experiment: The puppet show continues

Plutocrats' puppets continue their theatrical performance over the Greek ruins that have created. Suddenly, the IMF decided to play the role of the "good guy". The Fund came with a new proposal in the supposed negotiations quite "radical" for its "principles". As the Wall Street Journal reported : “The IMF wants eurozone countries to accept long delays in the repayment of Greece’s bailout loans, which would fall due in the period from 2040 to 2080 under the proposal, according to officials familiar with the talks. The IMF is also pressing for Greece’s interest rate on its eurozone loans to be fixed for 30 to 40 years at its current average level of 1.5%, with all interest payments postponed until loans start falling due.” Of course, the IMF knew from the start that neither Berlin nor Brussels would be possible to accept such a deal.
