Greek Youth Against Austerity
Syriza Youth
Syriza Youth was founded in 2013, as the youth organization of the Coalition of the Radical Left (Syriza) in Greece. This article first published on their website neolaiasyriza.gr (July 23).
The agreement reached in the months of negotiation of the SYRIZA-ANEL Government on 13 July is, beyond doubt, a huge defeat for the forces of the radical left in Greece. The unprecedented coup that lenders caused, was only the latest episode of a series of extreme coercion that led the government in a stifling political impasse.
However, it would be extremely deficient on our part, to interpret the outcome of the negotiations only as a result of lenders’ options. We ought to negatively evaluate the significant devaluation of the... correlations within the eurozone, the absolute belief that rational arguments could persuade the institutions to agree on a ‘win-win’ agreement, and that the threat of a grexit could play a catalytic role in prevalence of our plan. These have contributed decisively to the absence of an alternative rupture plan that would work both in the framework of the negotiation and also as a government option, which was a determinant factor in our entrapment.
