What is even stranger is that the strikes are being organized by Tsipras’s own party … Syriza, to protest its own government. Few actual steps have been taken to implement the list of EU demands, except for raising the VAT to 23%, further strangling an economy that is on its last breath. The banks successfully completed a capital raise of €14.4 billion. Now that the banks have raised their funds, they are finally [admitting] just how bad the NPL problem really is.”
