Press TV has conducted an interview with Ian Williams, with the Foreign Policy in Focus, in New York, to discuss the European Union’s pressure on Greece to follow up EU-proposed austerity measures.
Brussels’ calls for Athens to reduce unions’ rights and pensions has nothing to do with re-balancing the fiscal or economic situation of Greece, Williams maintains, adding that EU demands are “destructive for the Greek economy.”
Williams concludes that the Greek government wants to implement a taxation program within a period of years to break the current fiscal gap and the European Union is expected to support the procedure because Greece’s fall-down will bring everyone else down.
