All Greece needs now is for Spain et al to show the same level of bravery ...
Spanish anti-austerity party Podemos wins 15 seats in Andalusia
Regional parliamentary election weakens Spain’s two-party system in Podemos’s first test since ally Syriza won Greek elections

Or it could be the year that a democratic challenge to economic madness was strangled to death. It is a game of high stakes in which the futures of millions of people could be decided.

Good luck my beloved brothers. Sister Cyprus depends on you being safe and strong.
Cap, because whatever Greece suffers today, Cyprus will suffer tomorrow!

Exactly. That's why we need to take measures to prevent contamination.
We've done well to isolate ourselves from the contagion thus far.
Well done CY.

It's not up to Cyprus. It's pre-planned - they know who they can tap and why they can get away with it by tapping Greece and Cyprus - we both have the problem of Turkey.
They can treat Cyprus and Greece as strictly as they like - more so than Spain or Portugal - because we have to stay in the EU to avoid further Turkish encroachments. But, the EU needs to continue as well, so Greece and Cyprus can only get pushed so far. Which is why we have these oscillating games.
And, that's why Greece has to find a way to break the stranglehold (Russia destroying Turkey would be a start).
Don't be lulled into a false sense of security about Cyprus. As I said, it's oscillations - when Cyprus' turn comes around again (it will) we shall have the same problem of a squeeze and then idiots like you will blame Greece when it has NOTHING to do with Greece and everything to do with the IMF and ECB.
