country but at the same time they're not giving us any real solution they're just giving us threats i think people are becoming more for the time the drachma and as i said the drachma is going to solve the problems here but at least with the drag my you eat up the debt with inflation if you can't control the government spending which is what we were hoping we would achieve with the introduction of the euro we would have lower inflation low government spending so we had low inflation and high government spending so we had massive amounts of debt. i think i think that people are fed up with you here in general that's the major major feeling and they want a return to something some sort of national economy where they can implement a policy that benefits them because right now they understand they're under financial occupation but the e.u. is trying to blackmail greece by delivering an austerity ultimatum that's the view of constantine a columnist for the athens based newspaper many. george spot on that has lost legitimacy and agrees and as a prime minister he is
2:05 am
a dead man walking at the moment the pressure from the european union is tremendous . block made against the greek government because they say that i'm listening to you vote for this outrageous there will be no more. greece who will be left before my professional opinion is the this is a bluff from european union because if we agree to goes before then. i guess the euro. will be a disaster for european union. and unfortunately our government has not been there all of them and this is the difficult part of the story because you see the memorandum sent there was very the package is the result is the. gold that exports development and this is unsustainable. well the greek turmoil is one of the first problems in the in trade you head of the international monetary fund french

finance minister christine lagarde she might have one overwhelming support and that many analysts think another european boss means more favorable treatment for some countries but others not is going to cheat again. christine lagarde appointment keeps a european at the head of the world's top lender keeping the long held tradition intact and in a debt crisis having one of its own chairing the international monetary fund could be more important than ever for europe i think. intimate knowledge of those mechanisms. of the european community and the eurozone of its many leaders can help the guards main competitor was augustine carstens from mexico who argued her point mind would only edge to the perception of i.m.f. by its there could be some conflict of interest. they know their main borel's institution will be europe so we'll have
2:07 am
a situation where they will rule or stormin eighteen thirty institutional emerging economies the engine of global growth in recent years are vastly under represented in the organization with the u.s. and europe holding half of the votes in veto power carsten said he knew he had lost even before he announced he was running the fooling myself i mean it's like starting a soccer game with the five to see who will score an away suggest i am i have bias has had a negative effect on the world's economy if you look back at the way that rescue packages and other loans have been made in the history of i.m.f. lending it is very clear that decisions are primarily bullet a goal based on the interests of the united states or europe they would use their monopoly over. to force certain policies. on countries in policies there were not in their actual interest the i.m.f.

lends money monitors the global economy and in theory at least prevents crises its credibility has been shattered by the financial collapse in the advanced economies which it definitely did not spot they missed the two big biggest asset bubbles in the history of the world and the i.m.f. you know which is its world economic outlook every six months it is really in charge of monitoring these kinds of things just completely i think they didn't want to go against all their friends. and wall street and the others there were making a fortune at the time some experts see the intimacy between the i.m.f. and u.s. corporations as a matter of concern there's always been a long healthy relationship between the big banks and the financial sector wall street and the us treasury department in the us by extension the i.m.f.
2:09 am
all of the big decisions that are made by the u.s. treasury department then you had of the i.m.f. is more than familiar with the u.s. corporate world for years she worked at a major american law firm representing the interests of big business and is a member of the u.s. poland defense industry working group divest the interests of fav each and giants like boeing and lockheed martin helping them to seal multi-billion dollar deals the u.s. in europe found christine legarde the best for the job so did several emerging markets including russia and china but she faces the difficult task of appearing independent despite her past guys and will struggle not to cement even further the perception that the i.m.f. exists only for the benefit of its creditors i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . but if you want to go to our web site you can see more analysis of what christine the gods appointment could mean terms of global finance expert opinion on that and
