Am Mitt­woch debat­tier­ten auch die Abge­ord­ne­ten über Eil­vor­la­gen der Regie­rung zur Reform des Justiz-​​ und Bank­we­sens.

Die volle Anwen­dung der EU-​​Bankendirektive soll um sechs Monate vor­ge­zo­gen wer­den. […].

In der Novel­lie­rung des Zivil-​​ und Pro­zess­rechts soll vor allem die Zwangs­ver­pfän­dung von Immo­bi­lien durch Ban­ken erleich­tert und beschleu­nigt wer­den. Die Regie­rung will die Erst­im­mo­bi­lien von Schuld­nern von der Pfän­dung aus­neh­men; zudem soll das Gesetz nicht umge­hend in Kraft tre­ten, son­dern erst zum 1. Januar 2016.

Die Pfän­dung soll den Ban­ken zusätz­li­ches Kapi­tal zufüh­ren. Ein neuer Stress­test der grie­chi­schen Ban­ken auf Grund­lage der Daten vom 30. Juni, der den Reka­pi­ta­li­sie­rungs­be­darf ermit­teln soll, wird vor­be­rei­tet. Die Ban­ken bezwei­feln, dass sie durch den Zwangs­ver­kauf von Immo­bi­lien die fau­len Kre­dite, die 36 Pro­zent des Kre­dit­be­stan­des aus­ma­chen, decken könn­ten.

GREECE UNDER THE MEMO­RAN­DUM: A BRU­TAL SUP­P­RES­SION OF DEMO­CRACY

Just to give an idea of what par­lia­men­tary pro­ce­du­res in Greece after the capi­tu­la­tion of the govern­ment to the Troïka, let’s talk about todays‘ par­lia­men­tary debate and how it was pre­pa­red. So, yes­ter­day , at four in the after­noon, Syriza MPs, as well as the rest I sup­pose, recei­ved an email with an attach­ment. The opened it and saw that it was a nearly one thousand pages long file (!) which con­tains a sin­gle bill with just two arti­cles: the new Civil Pro­ce­dure Code (about 800 pages long) and the EU direc­tive for Greece’s acces­sion to the Euro­pean ban­king sys­tem. The first opens the way for the acce­le­ra­tion of the repos­ses­sion of pri­mary resi­dence by banks, but also other arti­cles in favor of banks in cases of legally dis­pu­ted loan. The second allows a Cyprus style bail in of the banks, that is a hair­cut of depo­sits in case of bank failu­res. Both are inclu­ded in the infa­mous agree­ment signed by Tsi­pars on July 13. and the Greek govern­ment had com­mit­ted its­elf to vote these mea­su­res wit­hin days after the agree­ment.
What this means is that Greek MPS have about 24 hours to get an over­view of this bill, which inclu­des hund­red of other aspects, which prac­tically means that they will have to vote on it by this eve­ning wit­hout being able to read even super­fi­ci­ally its con­tent.

From this three con­clu­si­ons can be drawn rather effort­lessly:
- the Memo­randa abolish not only the sub­stance but also the for­mal pro­ce­dure of (bourgeois-​​parliamentary) demo­cracy.
-If only as a pro­test against this com­plete sup­p­res­sion of rep­re­sen­ta­tive insti­tu­ti­ons and of any notion of popu­lar sover­eignty, the only pos­si­ble option is „no.“
- We should not laught at the Pasok or New Demo­cracy MPs who, during the two pre­vious govern­ments, con­fes­sed like the Pasok for­mer minis­ter Michael Chrys­so­cho­idis, that they did not read the memo­ran­dum they voted in 2010. Over 220 MPs are pre­pa­ring to do the same today, and the majo­rity of them (here lies the uni­que ori­gi­na­lity) rep­re­sent a party which calls its­elf a party of the „radi­cal left“.

Howe­ver, this ridi­cu­ling of demo­cracy has spar­ked reac­tions far beyond the ranks of the Syriza’s Left Plat­form. Greek Par­lia­ment Pre­si­dent Zoe Kon­stan­to­pou­lou spoke out against the chan­ges in the Code of Civil Pro­ce­dure that the Greek Par­lia­ment will vote on later in the evening.“The vote is a [par­lia­men­tary] diver­sion because it is intro­du­ced as an inter­ven­tion by the insti­tu­ti­ons under the threat of bankruptcy and is set as a prior action. Basic citi­zen rights for stan­ding a fair trial are being vio­la­ted,” she said during a speech in the Greek Par­lia­ment on Wed­nes­day.
Kon­stan­to­pou­lou con­fir­med that she can­not vote for these prior actions in par­lia­ment. She voted against the first set of prior actions last week as well.
The Greek Par­lia­ment Pre­si­dent also high­ligh­ted the oppo­si­tion of the Justice Minis­ter and other govern­ment MPs to the legis­la­tion.

Aside from her par­lia­ment speech, Kon­stan­to­pou­lou also pen­ned a let­ter addres­sed to the Pre­si­dent of the Hel­le­nic Repu­blic, Pro­ko­pis Pav­lo­pou­los, and Greek Prime Minis­ter Alexis Tsi­pras, asking them to inform their Euro­pean coun­ter­parts of her let­ter. In the let­ter, Kon­stan­to­pou­lou argued that the fact that the legis­la­tion was deman­ded by the insti­tu­ti­ons as a prior action to initiate bailout nego­tia­ti­ons is a clear sign of dis­re­gard toward par­lia­men­tary pro­ce­du­res, popu­lar rule and demo­cracy in Greece. She also noted that these chan­ges were sug­gested to the pre­vious Greek admi­nis­tra­tion and in a nati­onwide lawy­ers’ vote, 93% of Greek lawy­ers had voted against adopting them.“This vio­lent attack against demo­cracy can­not hap­pen in the con­text of the Euro­pean Union. And it defi­ni­tely can­not hap­pen silently,” the let­ter con­clu­ded.

Mean­while, in the dis­cus­sion in Par­lia­ment, the MPs of Syriza’s Left Plat­form made it clear that they will vote no, des­pite threa­te­n­ing state­ments issued by senior figu­res of the govern­ment accor­ding to which con­ti­nuous „no“ votes are not com­pa­ti­ble with a „com­mon path“. In a state­ment issued yes­ter­day Alexis Tsi­pras stron­gly attacks all those who inside Syriza reject the line, defends the „There was no alter­na­tive“ argu­ment and talks vaguely of rest­ar­ting party pro­ce­deu­res from Sep­tem­ber onwards (!). This amounts to a refu­sal to con­vene the cen­tral com­mit­tee of the party as asked by a joi­ned state­ment signed by a majo­rity of its mem­bers, who also reject the agree­ment.

Zu beach­ten ist der Unter­schied zwi­schen der Dar­stel­lung der FAZ:

• „Die Regie­rung will die Erst­im­mo­bi­lien von Schuld­nern von der Pfän­dung aus­neh­men“

und der Dar­stel­lung von Kou­ve­lakis:

• acce­le­ra­tion of the repos­ses­sion of pri­mary resi­dence by banks = Beschleu­ni­gung der Pfän­dung von Erst­wohn­sit­zen durch Ban­ken

Zu der Ban­ken­richt­li­nie weist das ND auf Fol­gen­des hin:

• Mit dem neuen Ban­ken­ge­setz sol­len Spar­ein­la­gen bis 100.000 Euro gesi­chert wer­den.

Amid gro­wing fears about a split wit­hin SYRIZA, the party’s poli­ti­cal secre­ta­riat is expec­ted to con­vene on Thurs­day to assess the out­look fol­lo­wing the vote and to call a mee­ting of the cen­tral com­mit­tee, pos­si­bly on the wee­kend.

The divi­si­ons were clear in Par­lia­ment on Wed­nes­day. Panay­io­tis Lafa­za­nis, the head of the radi­cal Left Plat­form, respon­ded to cri­ti­cism by Prime Minis­ter Alexis Tsi­pras to aides, which was lea­ked to the media on Tues­day.

“We are turning our backs on our com­mon strugg­les when we basi­cally say that memo­ran­dums, aus­te­rity and sub­mis­sion to black­mail are the only choice while we lam­bast every alter­na­tive proposal,leaving Greece at the mercy of the credi­tors,” he said.

Lafa­za­nis added that now is not the time for thre­ats and ten­si­ons, sug­gesting again that the coun­try should leave the euro. “Greece has no future as a black­mai­led aus­te­rity colony of the euro­zone, but as a proud coun­try which, wit­hout guar­di­anship and des­pite the dif­fi­cul­ties, fights against poverty, aus­te­rity and unem­ploy­ment and for the deep reduc­tion of debt.”

An arti­cle on Left Platform’s web­site iskra​.gr, respon­ded more directly to Tsipras’s lea­ked cri­ti­cism of alter­na­tive plans which have been attri­bu­ted to Lafa­za­nis among others, con­dem­ning the pre­mier for not ensu­ring that Greece had a fall­back option.

“When did the prime minis­ter actually rea­lize that there was no alter­na­tive solu­tion? If he knew it from the begin­ning, why didn’t he sign a much more leni­ent agree­ment in Febru­ary?” the aut­hor of the arti­cle asks. “Why was he tal­king until just the other day about can­cel­ling the memo­ran­dums? Why did he take the deci­sion to hold a refe­ren­dum?”

The govern­ment spo­kes­per­son, Olga Gero­va­sili, indi­ca­ted too, in com­ments to Alpha radio sta­tion, that the divi­sion of SYRIZA is “pro­bably” unavo­i­da­ble “if there con­ti­nue to be two dif­fe­rent stra­te­gies, two dif­fe­rent points of view.” She did not rule out the pos­si­ble need for early elec­tions.

Mean­while, New Democracy’s inte­rim lea­der is expec­ted to ask mem­bers of the party’s poli­ti­cal com­mit­tee at a mee­ting on Fri­day to eit­her aut­ho­rize him to remain at the helm for the months to come or to allow him to launch a lea­dership con­test.

Kat­hi­mer­ini under­stands that Mei­ma­ra­kis, instal­led as care­ta­ker lea­der ear­lier this month, would pro­pose a bal­lot to be held on August 30.
