За Циганите секогаш ќе бидеме боксерска вреќа, секогаш, независно дали се богати или сиромашни. А сега, нека им е на здравје, се малтене колонизирана земја.
Инаку, дел од тоа што се случувало за време на приватниот состанок помеѓу Меркел, Циганот, Педерот и Таск.
The Financial Times has some tantalising details of how last night’s marathon summit nearly collapsed around dawn today:
They report:
Alexis Tsipras of Greece and Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, decided after 14 hours of anguished talks that they had reached a dead end. With no room for compromise, neither saw any reason to carry on. Grexit was the only realistic option
As the two leaders made for the door it was Donald Tusk, the president of the European Council, who moved to prevent the fatigue and frustration from triggering a historic rupture for the eurozone.
“Sorry, but there is no way you are leaving this room,” the former Polish prime minister said.
The dispute centred on the plan to put €50bn of Greek assets in a new fund. Merkel wanted it all used for debt repayment; Tsipras wanted a smaller fund, devoted to funding investment, to avoid national humiliation.
In the end, they fudged it - with half used to recapitalise the banks and the other half split between debt repayments and investment.
And as officials staggered into the morning light, they agreed that the Greek PM had come off worst:
“They crucified Tsipras in there,” a senior eurozone official who had attended the summit remarked. “Crucified.”
