German Chancellor Angela Merkel is ambivalent about Sunday’s referendum in Greece. At the same time, she is careful not to interfere in the way the Greeks will vote and do not want to speculate on the outcome, says DN’s correspondent in January Lewenhagen.

Last Friday announced the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that the Greek government had proposed a referendum on lenders’ proposals and urged the same time the population to vote no. Over the weekend it was announced that a referendum will be held on Sunday.

On Monday, commented German Chancellor Angela Merkel for the first time breakdown in negotiations between the EU and Greece at a press conference in Berlin.

 
        
             
     
     
 

What was said at the press conference?

– Merkel said that she felt ambivalent about the referendum and that a ‘no’ could have the consequence that Greece must leave the euro. At the same time she did not give the impression that tell “the proud Greek people” how to vote. She said that the EU is based on two principles. The first is the combination of responsibility and solidarity – countries help each other but everyone must take responsibility for their own finances. The other is compromise – no one can get hundred percent in a negotiation. Merkel said that the Greek government unfortunately did not have the willingness to compromise. She did not want to speculate on what happens if there is an answer on Sunday, but said she was open to talks and that Germany is ready to help bilaterally in the event of humanitarian distress in Greece, says DN’s correspondent in Germany jan Lewenhagen.

How appeared Merkel?

– She was not sentimental as (European Commission President), Jean-Claude Junker was at his speech in Brussels earlier on the day when Junker said he was very disappointed and felt betrayed by Tsipras. Merkel showed no emotional outbursts against the Greek government, but merely observed how the situation was.

What happens with Greece in the future?

– There has been speculation about a new summit in Brussels on Wednesday. Merkel says she is happy to go there, but she does not see any reason for a meeting right now. However, she is pretty sure that there will be a need for a summit after the referendum on Sunday.

Löfvens focus on teacher salaries receive criticism from the union – Sveriges Radio

The government is investing three billion dollars a year in higher teacher salaries – from 2016. The announcement gave Prime Minister Stephen Löfven at a press conference in Almedalen today. About 60 000 teachers who are “particularly adept” can get an extra pay rise of 3,000 per month. But who should get part of the money is determined locally.

– We have an exceptional location in the Swedish school with dramatically declining school performance that falls most in the OECD. And we have an increasingly unequal school. We must, among other things, be sure to raise the attractiveness of the teaching profession. The salary is a part, but we do obviously several things, says Stefan Löfven.

Both the Social Democrats and the Green Party went to the polls to higher teacher salaries. The proposal to set aside three billion crowns from 2016 was also the red-green government’s first budget – which of course was convicted of the Alliance and the Sweden Democrats.

Now, therefore Stefan Löfven informed that the government will return with the proposal in the autumn budget. It is also clear that it is especially skilled teachers who will receive part of the state pot.

These are on average 3000 dollars a month. But who should get part of the money is determined locally.

The idea of ​​teacher salary lifting is to increase the attractiveness of the teaching profession and thereby raise awareness results in school.

But the government’s proposals for raising teachers’ salaries have been criticized from both unions and employers.

They have, among other things, warned that other professionals will also require extra money and think that the State should intervene in wage formation.

– I can understand that perspective. But it is so that we have an exceptional location in the Swedish school and we have to do something exceptional. When the teachers are so incredibly important, they are key in this, if we are to reverse this. For it is in the meeting between teachers and students that we can get these results turn, says Stefan Löfven.

LO Negotiating Secretary Torbjörn Johansson has said that the Government’s plan “shorting the Swedish model “.

– There is an involvement that is dangerous, it’s dynamite simply. Or nitroglycerin, shaken this as it may explode, he said.

Mellin: why was Stefan Löfvens speech ideologically – Aftonbladet

VISBY . Development Moralism.

Taste the word. Think about the meaning.

It is in any event so Stefan Löfven want you to behave. To take the chances offered.

In his fourth speech in Almedalen continued Stefan Löfven on the line that he put out in several previous speeches this year. Namely the duty to take the chances offered to get a job.

On the Social Democrats’ party congress in May, he stated that it was important that school children do their homework, and watching Netflix.

In the closing party leader debate in Parliament a few weeks later berated him up the nation’s parents:

– But it is clear that then also every parent’s contribution important to show that the school is the most important the foundation of a good life.

Here in Almedalen he struck again stated that society should offer chances. To education, to training, to more and more modern skills. But the individual must take chances, manage society offers.

Löfven had even invented a new word. It’s called the development moralism and will, if I understand his associates right, describe the individual has a moral imperative to evolve itself. To keep up.

meaning is far from crystal clear. But it is a Löfvensk tradition. Does anyone remember what the example of “innovation catapult” is? Could not believe it.

Return to moralism. Why not use the old, and very clear, the S adage “Do your duty, demand your right”. It hung on Löfvens lectern and is much more comprehensible than “development moralism”.

In another issue had Löfven problems with words on Monday. Previously, he has had trouble distinguishing between democracies and dictatorships, and rather talked about non-democracies.

Now, asked the Swedish radio on China is a dictatorship. But so far wanted Löfven not go. He could go as far as to a one-party state (without free elections and a corrupt and politicized judiciary, editor’s note).

– The label leads nowhere. We want greater economic exchange with China, he said, among other things. Moral?

That policy is tjuveriets industry is nothing new. Good ideas knycks without any major concerns. It happens all the time.

But on Monday night, it was kind of funny that Stefan Löfven stole at least two issues of the representative Fredrik Reinfeldt (M).

One concerned description of ordinary decent people who go to work and do what they should. In Löfvens bottling is the “backbone of society”. Reinfeldt called them “community carriers”.

And the reinvention of the investment in teachers’ salaries, which heavily criticized by LO, is a variant of the Alliance’s first teacher. The difference is that in the S-Sweden get more teachers less money, about 3 000 more a month.

It is not so good for the Social Democrats in opinion. According to the latest survey from Sweden think is the support of over 27 percent, nearly four percentage points lower than in the election.

Therefore, Stefan Löfvens speech ideologically and turned to their own and potential sympathizers. There are those who will understand what government policy is about and how it all fits together. In this way, he wants to get them to speak well of the policy.

Therefore Löfven continued to nag about how jobs agenda, the one to give the EU’s lowest unemployment rate in 2020, looks. He does it right.

But it will be tough, he also said. There are many who subscribe to.

Both of these measures are desperate attempt to save Greece aside a total financial crash, which could mean that the country is forced to leave the euro cooperation.

– We should not be so naive that we do not sees the risk of Greece leaving the euro. But it does not mean that the euro as such collapses. There is the Euro Group, an alternative plan if it would be so bad that it actually ends with Greece leaves, says Prime Minister Stephen Löfven in an interview with P1 morning.

According to Prime Minister Stephen Löfven it is a serious situation for Greece, the euro countries and the EU.

– What happened the other day when Greece suddenly say you want a referendum at one minute twelve and also think that the people will vote against – the action does not impress me, says Löfven in P1 Morgon.

Sweden’s direct exposure against the Greek economy is small. The indirect effects on Sweden’s difficult to assess in terms of both financial turmoil and real economic impact, according to Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson.

Now Greece can get a brand new currency – Expressen

emergency loans from the EU is stopped – and Greece may be the about to leave the euro.

Now discourages Claes Hemberg, private economist at Avanza Bank, Swedes from traveling to Greece.

– It can be troublesome. Hotels and supermarkets may not stay open, says Hemberg, today questioned in Expressen valstuga in Almedalen.

It was on Saturday that news from EU finance miniature starlings came – the emergency loans to Greece stopped. Now, many experts believe that Greece will leave the euro, and the country risk a financial bankruptcy.



Thousands of Swedes on the way to Greece

While traveling right now, thousands of Swedes on holiday to Greece. Claes Hemberg, private economist at Avanza Bank, which on Sunday questioned in Expressen valstuga in Visby, is now warning that travel to the country.

– I would probably stay at home. It is uncertain. It may become difficult. Hotels and grocery store may not stay open and the buses and ferries might not. If you do not have a system that works maybe that employees do not receive any salary paid, said Claes Hemberg.

But if you still travel to Greece or are already in place should remember that it may be difficult to withdraw money from ATMs. If Greece shortly leave the eurozone, the country will immediately have its own currency – the Greek euro.

Having money in hand

So be sure to take with euro banknotes when you go to Greece, says Hemberg.

– Have money in hand. Do you go to an ATM and withdraw money, you get Greek currency and it will not be half so much worth.

The crisis in Greece is not expected to have a wide impact on Swedes save money, according to Claes Hemberg. As the Swedish one should not be afraid to even save money disappears.

– Economically Greece is not such a large country. We have a few hundred billion savings in Europe Fund that may be affected in the short term. But it will not collapse for Greece to leave the euro. But it can be created speculation on how some banks in Europe, which has loan in Greece, will survive and it may affect the stock market in the coming weeks. It will be messy.

Finance Magdalena Andersson (S) puts all the blame on Greece to negotiations with the Eurogroup collapsed. In a DN interview she dismisses the criticism, among others, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman against the lenders.

– Situation is very serious. I must say I was very surprised when the Greeks said they wanted to call a referendum. It turned, so to speak throughout the hearing, said Finance Minister Magdalena Andersson.

It sounds like you put a lot of blame on Greece to the negotiations have foundered?

 
        
             
     
     
 

– Yes, it is clear that it is the decision to call a folkomrösning who now makes that negotiations have broken down. And not least, the government said it would urge people to vote no. My view is that the euro countries have put considerable effort in order to find a solution that also Greece can accept. Just the fact that it has had four finance minister meetings on a weekly shows you that you really have tried to find a solution and get the Greeks to meet.

Now pull back the bid that Greece would hold a referendum on?

– Yes, well quite naturally. For although now the Greeks would vote yes – what is the credibility of a government who think they would not have voted to implement the necessary measures?

There are critics who argue that euro countries have driven demands for cuts for hard negotiations, and that you have not listened to the Greek proposals for tax increases. Among others, Nobel laureate Paul Krugman, who wrote a blog post talked about the other day. What do you think about the criticism?

– My impression is that there have been quite a lot of flexibility from the euro countries to the Greeks themselves to develop a policy for the public finances should be in balance. But the requirement has been that man from the Greek side will come up with measures that are realistic and credible so that they also create long-term sustainability of public finances.

What is the biggest risk in the situation which has now arisen?

– It is crucial now is the opportunities that the European Central Bank looks to act in this situation. Greek banks’ve survived the past week because the ECB has helped them with money, but when there is no longer any aid schemes, the question of how the ECB will be looking at the situation.

What if the ECB decides to stop giving support to Greek banks?

– When the Greek banks are very big problems.

How can it affect Sweden ?

– We are not directly exposed to Greece. It’s not like when there was a crisis in the Baltic States, where Swedish banks were exposed. We also have a fairly limited trade with Greece. But it becomes a turbulence in the European financial markets, then Sweden may be affected. Although the Swedish krona could be affected, and thus also the Swedish export industry. Therefore we follow the situation very carefully from the finance ministry and the contingency if necessary measures are taken.

The finance ministers sit in the Saturday evening meeting to discuss the situation. It uses the word “consequences”. You interpret it as that it is now waiting for a major crisis?

– It depends a lot on how the markets will react to this news. It is of course impossible to predict. But the positive is that Europe is much stronger now than if this had happened a few years ago.

How hard is it to calculate the effects of this kind of situations? Is not it very complex?

– Well, that’s it. But today, the EU is much more stable, both in terms of the other countries’ public finances, but also because you have built up some mechanisms to The European Stability Mechanism, ESM (a new rescue fund for euro zone countries that get into financial crisis, DN note.)

– It’s been a long night and we have discussed some very important topics, but I am particularly pleased that the process of British reforms, renegotiation and the referendum that we should keep, the process is now in earnest, said Cameron.

– People always say to me that these things are not possible, you never get through them . Well, once again we have proven that we get things done. We have started the process, he continued.

Some information about when the British referendum should be held, he gave not.

EU Permanent President Tusk called the night decision “the first step in a long process.”

– One thing should be clear from the beginning: the EU’s fundamental values ​​are not for sale and are not negotiable. We should consider British views, but only in a way that is safe for Europe. We will return to this in December, said Tusk
