LE PROBLEME GREC

Abstract

The article proposes to consider that, in the case of Greece, the formula to cope with the crisis is based on a false diagnosis regarding the cause and the patient. Far from being Greek society or economy, the patient is the state. The public debt is not directly related to the level of society: it is simply a significant evidence of corruption and appropriation of the state by the political class. The debt crisis results exclusively from general refusal of Greek governments to take basic measures to reform the state. And the management of the crisis, marked by shifts from the memoranda forecasts, goes with the obstinacy of politicians to keep intact the pillars of partitocracy. The political system has lost all legitimacy and is in constant rivalry with the society of citizens. The article provides, to conclude, radical paths of reform. Adapted from the source document.
