The finance ministry is trying hard to avert the country from the course of bankruptcy. And while the political situation is still dominant, harsh reality and debts do not allow them to relax. According to finance ministry sources, about 600mil euros are left in state coffers, sufficient only to pay half the month to civil servants on 11/11/11. But as the 6th tranche is delayed, the government must provide twice as much in order to pay the wages and pensions of December at the end of this month. In an attempt to find the amount, the ministry has decided to frieze all tax returns and speed up the issuing and collection of statements for head tax and the real estate special fee. Moreover, a lot is placed on the tax hunt for the collection of the 3rd quarter and the revenue from the settlement of illegal and semi-illegal spaces.

We must start negotiations with the troika immediately for the configuration details of the new loan agreement, which must be voted in parliament by a majority of 180 MPs. As a country, we must create (with the help of our partners) the legal framework for PSI Plus and achieve 100% participation of Greek bondholders.
