Το
πιο σκληρό άρθρο που έχει γραφεί για τον ρόλο του ΔΝΤ στην Ελληνική κατάρρευση,
δημοσιεύθηκε στο Spiegel σε μία εξαιρετικά κρίσιμη συγκυρία.
Το
περιοδικό ρίχνει βαρύτατες ευθύνες στο ΔΝΤ και προσωπικά στην Λαγκάρντ για την πολιτική
που ακολούθησε έναντι της Ελλάδας, κατηγορώντας την ευθέως ότι την οδήγησε στην
καταστροφή.
Εξαιρετικά
σημαντική είναι η μομφή που της... αποδίδει
ότι «αντί να ασχολείται με τη λειτουργία του ταμείου, έγινε συνεργός του
Βερολίνου και των Βρυξελών, συμβάλλοντας στην προσπάθεια ανατροπής της
εκλεγμένης κυβέρνησης της Ελλάδας!
Ολα
αυτά που; Στο γερμανικό Spiegel! Που φαίνεται πως αντιλαμβάνεται την
πραγματικότητα περισσότερο από κάτι Θεοδωράκηδες της αντιπολίτευσης. Αλήθεια,
τι ακριβώς υπηρετούν;
Κλείνοντας
ο αρθρογράφος ζητά ευθέως την παραίτηση της Λαγκάρντ, επαναλαμβάνοντας το
λογίδριο περί «ηθικών λόγων» που συνόδεψε την αποπομπή του Στρως Καν! Αυτή
βλέπετε, βίασε μια ολόκληρη χώρα...

την Αγγλική μετάφραση του άρθρου:
Referendum? What referendum? That is the tenor
irritated, one wonders at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Greece. Many
IMF staff are bleary-eyed noticeable complaining internally about the criticism
and the current workload.
Outwardly they do but as not shake the Greek reform-no
to their busy schedule for this week: negotiations with Tanzania, a report on
the US economy, a press conference on the global economic outlook - business as
usual. Even IMF chief Christine Lagarde is emphasized distance showcased. «The
IMF yesterday's referendum in Greece taken note of,» she said on Monday
laconically - 18 hours after the result was clear, and to see without himself.
It was «prepared to support Greece, we are asked.» Lagarde's cynical phrases
Two sets only.
Cynical sentences - because instead of to prove
himself as a savior of Greece, Lagarde has now reached the opposite. She stands
before the ruins of a failed policy that has been checked the IMF long as they
previously shook up only powerless developing countries. But now that this
policy Europe - no wonder that now no longer just the tried and true IMF
critics of Lagarde demanding that she should give up their job.
Under Lagarde, the IMF has become part of the problem
by the crisis have only worsened, writes Harvard political scientist David
Singh Grewal in the «Huffington Post». He called for a «separation at the top»:
With its uncompromising attitude Lagarde had wanted as a «servant of Berlin and
Brussels» provoke a regime change in Athens - and thus their qualification
permanently playful. «The IMF is doing in Greece now that, since the eighties,
what he is doing in Africa,» criticized the analyst Robert Naiman from
progressive think tank Just Foreign Policy.
Behind the credit policy of the Fund put this time the
attempt to overthrow a government. Even old reports of Lagarde are regurgitated
in the social networks. They pay no taxes on their 467,940-dollar annual
salary. You've let wegretuschieren as French Finance Minister on a portrait
photo jewelry. And then there's also this financial scandal in her home at the
businessman Bernard Tapie, in which she is involved. The
critics are gearing up.
Similar concerns exist within the fund for a long
time. How the IMF is torn, showed his recent analysis Greece last week.
Accordingly, Athens is his debts can never repay or only after «significant
prolonged» due dates or even a haircut - previously a taboo in Brussels because
Europe would have to write off billions. The gloomy forecast - which
nevertheless did not alter the IMF lending - caused quite a stir, was
politicized promptly and should have taken care of with the Ochi.
Time for a reform of the IMF's human resources policy
But the publication of the report three days before the referendum was
internally so controversial that the dispute in this press transpired.
According to Reuters information, the European IMF partners locked against it
because they feared an impact on the Greek vote, but were «heavily outvoted» -
including by the United States. In order for a haircut is on the table - also
for the IMF, which must also fear for many billions. When Greece missed its
last IMF rate, as the first industrial nation ever in history, an untested
mechanism came into effect: Parallel to the talks in Brussels, the IMF now
needs to negotiate with Athens the future of open IMF debt. This is new
territory for the fund, which had previously only such problems with developing
countries.
Lagarde's term of office ends in mid 2016. «As
managing director is expected of you, that you meet the highest ethical
standards of conduct,» it wrote, the IMF 2011 in the contract. This etiquette
Passage was a response to the Sexaffären her predecessor Dominique Strauss-Kahn
- but could now also be their undoing, when it comes to their contract renewal
next year. Should they go ahead or not, that would be a good opportunity for a
reform of the IMF's human resources policy.
Per tradition of top job goes to a European, and the
top job of the World Bank, the IMF's sister institution next door to an
American. Even more demanding Africa, Asia and Latin America an amendment. A
Lagarde successor of Europe now appears to be an ever worse idea. In summary:
The failed rescue policy for Greece brings IMF chief Christine Lagarde in
distress. Their term of office ends next year. An extension of the contract is
uncertain, critics call even its early resignation.
