Greek Prime Minister Says IMF Has "Criminal Responsibility" For Country's Debt Crisis

• http://www.trueactivist.com

This Tuesday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said that the International Monetary Fund had "criminal responsibility" for Greece's debt crisis. As with many countries, the IMF has forced the Greek government into a number of expensive loans that are impossible to pay back. This is how organizations like the IMF and the World Bank are able to take control of a country's government and financial institutions, by getting them so deep into debt that they are beholden to the debtors.

"The time has come for the IMF's proposals to be judged not just by us but especially by Europe. The IMF has criminal responsibility for today's situation. Right now, what dominates is the IMF's harsh views on tough measures, and Europe's on denying any discussion over debt viability. The time has come for the IMF's proposals to be judged in public.. .by Europe," Tsipras said.

"The fixation on cuts…is most likely part of a political plan…to humiliate an entire people that has suffered in the past five years through no fault of its own," Tsipras added.

Tsipras also accused the European Central Bank of using "financial asphyxiation" to bully the country into accepting the terms of a recent proposal.
