Deputy FinMin Valavani resigns

A letter of resignation by Greek Deputy Finance Minister Nadia Valavani saw the light on Wednesday. Valavani sent the letter of resignation to Greek PM Alexis Tsipras Monday morning amid constant political turmoil and ahead of the crucial vote of harsh austerity measures to take place on Wednesday. She underlines that even after the deal was struck with EU partners she is does not believe a final agreement will be achieved, as the true intent of reactionary forces within Germany is to completely humiliate the Greek government and not strike a deal.  “Until the Greek government collapses and a ‘willing puppet’ government takes control of power”, she says. Addressing the Greek PM in his first name, she stresses that the capitulation by the Greek government is crushing and will not allow a regrouping of the government. She calls on Tsipras to explain what the terms of agreement really mean to the future generations of Greeks and the youth. “The solution imposed on Greece is in such a depressing way that it is not viable”, she adds.
