“Our proposal was greeted with deafening silence. More precisely, the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers and the troika continued to leak to the global media that the Greek authorities had no credible, innovative proposals on offer – their standard refrain.

At a turning point in European history, our innovative alternative was thrown into the dustbin. It remains there for others to retrieve.”
