EDF REMINDS EU INSTITUTIONS THAT DURING THIS BICKERING PEOPLE IN
GREECE SUFFER
Brussels, 1 July 2015
EDF would like to remind the EU institutions and the governments of
Europe, that while their heated discussions go on regarding the Greek
default, the people of Greece are left in a limbo: ordinary people
must survive without money, without jobs, without access to credit and
with a completely unknown future.
Despite the stated ambitions of the programme of the "Troika"
consisting of the European Commission, the European Central Bank, and
the International Monetary Fund, Greece has seen a 25% decline in
Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)
since this programme started. This depression has been having
catastrophic consequences on the people of Greece. 60% of young people
in Greece today are unemployed. Persons with disabilities have been
also hit and fundamental rights that we have been fighting for years
are now at risk.
EDF extends its sincerest support to the people of Greece and send a
strong message to the EU institutions: This is the time to find
solutions to ensure that the people of Greece and the Greek economy
have the possibility to recover, not to be thrown into turmoil. The
five Presidents of the EU (Commission, Council, Eurogroup, Parliament,
and Central Bank) issued a report on June 22 "Completing Europe's
Economic and Monetary Union" (EMU).
In this report, just 10 days ago they stated: "a complete EMU is not
an end in itself. It is a means to create a better and fairer life for
all citizens".
It is time to rise above the current deadlock, show leadership, and
find a path to economic recovery for Greece that does not make Greek
people suffer further.
"The institutions and the EU governments should immediately come to
grips with this unprecedented situation in Greece. The institutions
should continue the negotiations with the Greek government and should
make it clear that persons with disabilities and their families should
not be hit more by the crisis. The future of Greece in the Eurozone is
not only in the hands of the Greek government and people but also in
the hands of the Institutions and the Eurozone governments. The
principle of solidarity should immediately be applied", says EDF
President Yannis Vardakastanis.
