Greece: EU rotating Presidency

In the fight against the recession, in the last six years, and suffer successive austerity measures with the arrival of the troika, the European Union President Greece since the first hour of the first day of the year. It is a crucial moment in which must be fundamental political decisions taken at European level and domestically. But the Greeks are not very confident, how do you explain a citizen:

"The Presidency means nothing to the people. Ordinary people suffer, while those in power take advantage of the benefits. "

In April, ends the second program of financial assistance granted by the EU and the IMF and Greece will need a third rescue. When that happens, will be made new cuts. This is the sad reality, recognized by most analysts, like for example, Professor Dionysis Chionis:

"The Greek economy has managed to accomplish something very difficult, which seemed difficult in previous years, which was to be able to pay, up to a point, the debt. I believe it will be much harder to afford everything without doing a new debt restructuring ".

With the Greek people exhausted with the continuous cuts in salaries and with unemployment hitting new records, the worsening austerity may jeopardise the cohesion of the coalition Government of an Executive who governs with a slight parliamentary majority and lead to new elections for the Presidency of the European Union.

The Greece will have to supervise the implementation of the first steps of the Banking Union in Europe and seek solutions for growth and combat unemployment. The Greek Presidency is still disturbed by the European elections in May.

"For Greece is not a premiere at the exercise of the EU's rotating Presidency. This will be the fifth time the exercises, since 1979, when he joined the then EEC. However, this Presidency can be much more difficult, not only because of the fragile parliamentary majority, as because of problems politically, economically and socially throughout Europe and domestically, in Greece ".
