The system launches another major attack on Greece

The new narrative by the mainstream media in Greece and abroad, is that the coalition government of the Leftist party, SYRIZA, is actually fully retreated to the eurocrats and the German leadership when actually the opposite has happened. The propaganda is so intense that the Greek government officials find very difficult to tell the real stories behind every distortion. Only a tiny example, was the false information according to which the current FinMin, Yanis Varoufakis, was about to be replaced by the Deputy Prime Minister, Yannis Dragasakis, in the negotiations with the lenders. Several mainstream media implied that this was done after lenders' demand, as Dragasakis is presented being more experienced and moderate. Dragasakis immediately denied it.

Inside the new narrative, the system tries to pass the impression that the Troika has returned to Greece, which is quite far from reality. This picture of medium-level officials with the arrogant style, who were coming and telling ministers what to do, is finished. Most importantly, the officials of the new Greek government show that they know very well what's been happening so far, and they will not tolerate such a situation anymore.

It won't easy, considering that they'll be very poor if they do. They know this.
