Jeroen Dijsselbloem admits ''...not a success story..." his and Eurozone's 'approach' of Greek Crisis...
The former Eurogroup chairman Mr. Jeroen Dijsselbloem admits that Eurozone finance ministers' strategy as to how to 'approach ' the 'Greek crisis' was a huge failure! Now, on Zaterdag, 29 september 2018 , ten years after 2009! A veeeeeeery long due expression of epiphany, clairvoyance, clairsentience, discernment, honesty and truth, all of the sudden !
To be welcomed by all means, nevertheless!
Yet, this last phrase, "We have demanded a great deal from the Greeks on that reform side too much. If you have a properly functioning civil service, it is already difficult. But of course there was no such thing in Greece. ", belittling, debasing, misjudging Greece, with a nuance of Northern (falsely founded, uncanny) arrogance, should we guess that is a fruit of Mr. D.'s close contacts with Alexis and Yanis, with George A. Papandreou and Mr. Goergiou, with his phony-false-fake statistics, as Dominique Strauss-Kahn clearly stated before and after his 'fall' on many occasions?
The epiphany and the discernment are rather short, or even blind, in front of the huge economic crimes that were ( and still are ) afoot?

"...Dijsselbloem, the president of the Eurogroup for five years (consisting of Eurozone finance ministers) does not consider the approach of the Greek crisis to be a success: "The valley through which Greece has gone through has been so deep that it can not be called success. "
The Labor Party also questions the amount of reform programs that the Greeks had to implement afterwards. "We also know in the Netherlands how difficult it is to implement government reforms. We have demanded a great deal from the Greeks on that reform side too much. If you have a properly functioning civil service, it is already difficult. But of course there was no such thing in Greece. "..."
HILVERSUM (ANP) - ,, It is not a success story. We have asked too much in terms of reforms from the Greeks. "This is what former Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said on Saturday evening in Nieuwsuur looks back on the approach of the Greek financial crisis.

Greece suffered from huge budget deficits from 2009 onwards. The financial support to solve this has stopped and recently the country has finally been removed from the European emergency program. Since 2010, the country has received 273.7 billion euros in favorable loans, of which 241.6 from the euro countries and 32.1 from the International Monetary Fund.
HILVERSUM (ANP) - ,,Het is geen succesverhaal. We hebben qua hervormingen te veel gevraagd van de Grieken." Dat zegt voormalig Eurogroep-voorzitter Jeroen Dijsselbloem die zaterdagavond in Nieuwsuur terugblikt op de aanpak van de Griekse financiële crisis.
Dijsselbloem, vijf jaar lang de voorzitter van de Eurogroep (bestaande uit de ministers van Financiën van de eurozone) beschouwt de aanpak van de Griekse crisis niet als een succes: ,,Het dal waar Griekenland doorheen is gegaan, is zo diep geweest, dat je het geen succes kan noemen."
Ook plaatst de PvdA'er achteraf vraagtekens bij de hoeveelheid hervormingsprogramma’s die de Grieken moesten doorvoeren. ,,We weten ook in Nederland hoe moeilijk het is om overheidshervormingen door te voeren. We hebben enorm veel gevraagd van de Grieken aan die hervormingskant, te veel. Als je een goed functionerend ambtelijk apparaat hebt, dan is het al moeilijk. Maar daarvan was in Griekenland natuurlijk geen sprake."
Griekenland kampte vanaf 2009 met enorme begrotingstekorten. De financiële steun om dat op te lossen is gestopt en sinds kort is het land definitief uit het Europese noodprogramma. Sinds 2010 heeft het land 273,7 miljard euro aan gunstige leningen ontvangen, waarvan 241,6 van de eurolanden en 32,1 van het Internationaal Monetair Fonds.
