this can't be right, can it?

Cyprus needs the biggest bailout in the history of sovereign credit (100% of GDP), will run out of money next month, and yet continues to stonewall the Troika, not only in private but also in public. Christofias has reportedly said that “he would be out demonstrating with the unions” if the troika insisted on abolishing automatic COLAs for Cypriot workers. This could be face-saving political posturing before capitulation; it is just awfully hard to sell austerity when you are the anti-austerity party.

i can understand making beverages like tea/coffee available to staff, but free-flowing pepsi/coke? er, hello? american imperialist pop!!! no wonder the island's in trouble.

Have just done a few searches on the extent of the CY sovereign debt to confirm the above and regretfully have to say some sources are giving the figure as rising to as high as 140% of CY GDP.

Boys and girls... that is a hideous figure, really, really hideous.

God is punishing this country... there is no doubt about it!

THEM? Ah yes. I forgot. Kilintziri are not Cypriots any way. Turkogyftoi, I think.

Indeed. For electing a non Greek communist for president.

Unfortunately, I have to also include this last one of my fears, judging from the composition of his negotiating team on this issue.

The incompetent fool known as Christofias, or Tractor Jim if you like, doesn’t know the meaning of the word “strategy” so prepare to be disappointed because all he’ll manage is to set new low levels that the RoC is prepared to sink to at Turkey’s amusement and abuse.
