Unfortunately, it appears that the government is about to concede on virtually all the points requested by the troika (or the “institutions” if you like this term). As I discussed before, it entered into a silly game of “chicken” with the Eurogroup, betting on the support of the IMF. In the process, it has emptied the state coffers (and those of the municipalities as well). The IMF got its money but it sided with the “troika”, to the great displeasure of the government. Did Tsipras and Varoufakis expected, for a single moment, that Langard would side with them? Yes, they did, amazingly so. Langard probably hates the very idea of SYRIZA and, again, she probably despises Varoufakis as well.
