This number is staggering, considering that Greece was led to official bankruptcy and the memoranda in 2010 with a debt of 299 billion euros – and even with the country’s real GDP at the time being 35 billion euros higher than today! In just one year, the state debt increased by 4.5 billion euros, as …

Issuance of Eurobonds worth 4,5 trillion euros is required for Europe’s strategic autonomy
The only obstacle and most important to the issuance of Eurobonds that will finance the EU’s strategic autonomy is Germany. The only major country in the Eurozone with an “excellent” credit rating (AAA) refuses to accept joint borrowing and the issuance of the Eurobond. To achieve the strategic autonomy of the Old Continent requires three …
The German model of the “Fiscal Debt Brake” is registered as a Fiscal Rule in the Constitution of Greece
The European Commission’s study on the sustainability of the debt of its member states (Debt Sustainability Monitor 2025) predicts for Greece that its public debt will remain more than double the Maastricht limit of 60% in the medium term (at 124% of GDP in 2036). In essence, the current Greek governments are implementing a political …
IMF to EU: Reduce spending on health, education and abolish benefits, otherwise bankruptcy
Europe’s soaring public debt levels should prompt governments to rethink their role in delivering essential services to EU citizens, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), which sees an urgent need to impose shock measures on economies that would overturn the famous European model. In a study published on Tuesday, November 4 (“Regional Economic Outlook …
The ECB is secretly rescuing France, while in 2010 it threw Greece into the jaws of the markets
The European Central Bank (ECB), especially after the Greek adventure, has a long history of intervening in government bond markets in order to contain yields during periods of turmoil in the debt market. However, this is not an exercise of monetary policy but an intervention by the Brussels deep state. The most characteristic — and …
The “drama” of the Greek Economy
The economic policy of the Mitsotakis government is limited to ensuring fiscal surpluses and there is no concern for the development of the private sector of the economy. The combination of a policy of containing fiscal spending and increasing tax revenues with a non-existent private sector undermines the growth rate, deprives incomes and jobs, causes …
Big Mistake! The borrowing cost of Greece and the South of the EU is close to that of Germany and France
How much do bond markets want to drive us crazy, while those who are not involved in the subject give investment advice? At a time when Hurricane Trump has caused international turmoil through retaliatory tariffs and an underground currency war regarding the dollar exchange rate, the once-maligned European South is on the first… shelf of …
The Greek Economy is Moving on Shattered Ground
The Greek economy is starving, unable to breathe, and this is clearly evident from a survey by the Athens Chamber of Commerce and Industry published last week. The ACC is calling on the government to correct the suffocating situation faced by small and medium-sized enterprises due to government policy. They focus on the following: over-taxation, …
The falsely called “primary surplus” of the Greek Government’s budget is a statistical trick
In the new budget submitted to Parliament, the deficit increases from 5.7 billion in 2024 to 5.9 billion in 2025. If all public bodies, legal entities, hospitals, social security funds (SSFs) and municipalities are included, some of which obviously have a surplus, then the deficit of the so-called General Government is limited to 1.4 billion …
Target 2 is a nightmare for France and other EU member countries
In France, President Emmanuel Macron accuses Lepen and the right or other far-right that if he comes to power – which is a given, based on the opinion polls so far it reaches 35% – that chaos will be caused in the French debt. They said the same about Italy but they say nothing about …
