“We have experienced two general strikes in the past three weeks. This is the first time we have seen general strikes in Greece since Tsipras came to power in January. 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.”
