Greece continues to spend more than their taxpayers are willing to pay and now Athens a new billion package from the EU to continue with it for a while. In time, however, it is thought that the economy should be reformed and the Greeks do without the contribution of the northern European taxpayers supplying them today.
According to the Daily Express , this is a monetary injection of a total of 10 billion Swedish kronor Mediterranean country is getting to those implemented some economic reforms.
The Greek left government continues to combine a very low tax burden, especially for its affluent middle-class voters, with a very extensive welfare state that since its inception has been funded by foreign loans. Loans not repaid.
According to the agreement between Greece and the so-called troika - the European Commission, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank - the country will receive 86 billion euros in new loans to stabilize its finances and implement cuts. Of the money has 33.5 billion euros already paid, writes the Daily Express.
Among the points of the deal is an increased tax levy, a sale of several state enterprises and the abolition of the ban on working on Sundays, which in several countries around the Mediterranean are considered potentially hazardous.
The Greek government would not implement any reforms at all, preferring instead that the debts are written off while the welfare and low taxes retained in Greece. "SYRIZA has insisted in the strongest terms of its position that the deal be scrapped and that the debt to be renegotiated" instead of being paid back, says ruling party Syriza today on its website.
