New Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will lay out his radical
left-wing government's policies in a speech later on Sunday, firmly
rejecting any more austerity forced on his debt-strapped country by its
euro zone partners.
In his first major speech to parliament as premier,
Tsipras is expected to say that Greece wants no more bailout money,
plans to renegotiate its debt deal and wants a "bridge agreement" to
tide the country over until a new pact is sealed.
A second part of the
speech will touch on his government's social and fiscal policy over the
longer term and is likely to repeat pledges for such things as a rise in the minimum wage and free electricity for poorer Greeks.
Which gets me to thinking: with free electricity, wouldn't that be a
great business opportunity, to build a cloud of servers in poorer
Greeks' basements?
Maybe that is the real plan behind the free
electricity idea.
The former head of the US central bank, Alan Greenspan, has predicted that Greece will have to leave the eurozone.
