    Wikileaks-Παπανδρέου προς ΗΠΑ: "Νιώθω πολύ κοντά σας, κάντε με μεσολαβητή σας"!


    Τραγική για έλληνα πολίτη, πόσο μάλλον πρωθυπουργό, είναι η σημερινή αποκάλυψη της wikileaks γιασυνάντηση του ΓΑΠ με τον γερουσιαστή Durbin, τον Γιαννούλα και τον Σπέκχαρντ. Το τι τους είπε δεν περιγράφεται!! Παραβλέπουμε ότι στη συνάντηση που έγινε τονΦεβρουάριο του 2009 σε ερώτηση του Γιαννούλα τι σκέφτεται να κάνει με το διογκούμενο χρέος, του λέει ότι η χώρα χρειάζεται μια νέα κυβέρνηση που να μπορεί να πάρει δύσκολες αποφάσεις που πρέπει να ληφθούν... παραβλέπουμε ότι παραδέχεται ότι η κρίση είναι τόσο εξωγενής όσο και ενδογενής ενώ δημόσια έλεγε ότι η κρίση είναι ελληνική... και τα παραβλέπουμε όλα γιατί η συνομιλία περιέχει δύο βόμβες που ως συνήθως θα θαφτούν από τα ελληνικά ΜΜΕ:

    1. Ο Παπανδρέου γλύφει πατόκορφα τον Αμερικάνο Γερουσιαστή και του λέει ότι νιώθει πάρα πολύ κοντά στις ΗΠΑ, ενώ του θυμίζει τόσο ότι γεννήθηκε όσο και ότι σπούδασε εκεί!! Στη συνέχεια λέει ότι οι ΗΠΑ είναι η μόνη δύναμη στον κόσμο που μπορεί να προωθήσει τις δημοκρατικές αξίες δίνοντας ουσιαστικά πράσινο φως για επεμβάσεις σε στυλ Λιβύη... Τέλος δεν ξεχνά να τους θυμίσει ότι η Ελλάδα είναι μια "μικρή χώρα... που μπορεί όμως να συμβάλει σε επίλυση προβλημάτων... ηγέτης να σου πετύχει... 

    2. Αφού τους λέει ότι σαν Πρόεδρος της ΣοσιαλΗστικής Διεθνούς βοήθησε τους πρώην κομμουνιστές του ανατολικού μπλόκ να καμουφλαριστούν σαν δημοκράτες και κατάφερε να κάνει τους Ισραηλινούν και τους Παλαιστίνιους να συνομιλήσουν... τους σκάει το μεγάλο παραμύθι που μοιάζει σαν αγγελία για δουλειά: Είμαι διατεθειμένος αν θέλετε να μεσολαβήσω μεταξύ των ΗΠΑ και διαφόρων ηγετών στον κόσμο με τους οποίους έχετε προβλήματα!!! 

    Και αυτός ο άνθρωπος είναι Πρωθυπουργός της Ελλάδας... 

    Εννοείται ότι τους φλόμωσε στις παπαριές "η Ελλάδα μπορεί να καλύψει όλη την ενέργειά της με τον άνεμο"η "μπορούμε να φτιάξουμε ανεμόμυλους που θα δένουν και με το τοπίο" κ.λπ παπαριές για πράσινη ανάπτυξη.

    Τέλος αυτονόητο θεωρείται ότι τους έλεγε "μπορούμε να δουλέψουμε μαζί σας" και σαν καλός "Έλληνας" τα έχωσε στη Μέρκελ που δεν γυρνάει να μοιράζει ακάλυπτες επιταγές σε όσους χρωστάνε λεφτά...

    SUBJECT: CODEL DURBIN'S MEETING WITH GREEK OPPOSITION
    LEADER PAPANDREOU

    REF: ATHENS 207

    Summary
    -------
    ΒΆ1. (SBU) In a wide-ranging discussion February 18, Senator
    Durbin and main opposition PASOK party president George
    Papandreou shared views on the global economic crisis,
    Cyprus, Greek-Turkish relations, Afghanistan, and other
    issues. They agreed that the international goodwill
    surrounding the new U.S. administration provided an
    opportunity to make lasting reforms in the global economy --
    including expansion of renewable energy -- and to improve the
    global image of the U.S. Papandreou stressed the "closeness"
    he feels with the U.S., the country of his birth, and he
    argued that the U.S. is "the only power in the world" able to
    take the lead in promoting our shared democratic values. He
    added that Greece would be ready to do its part under a
    future PASOK government. Papandreou expressed admiration for
    the recently signed U.S. economic stimulus package, and said
    he wished the EU would consider something similar.
    Unfortunately, he said, Germany had taken the lead in holding
    back the EU's reaction to the economic crisis, based on what
    Papandreou considered a misguided commitment to fiscal rules
    that made little sense in a recession. Noting his role as
    current head of the Socialist International, Papandreou
    explained his work with leaders in the Muslim world and
    elsewhere to find peaceful ways to resolve disputes and to
    deal with terrorism. He said he would be open to U.S. ideas
    if there were ways he could help build connections to
    confrontational leaders anywhere in the world. End Summary.

    "Time to Work Together"
    -----------------------
    ΒΆ2. (SBU) Papandreou began the meeting with Senator Durbin,
    Illinois Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias, and the Ambassador by
    offering congratulations for the election of President Obama
    and by noting how his own life story was deeply connected
    with the U.S. (including a year Papandreou spent in high
    school in Elmhurst, Illinois). Durbin noted the wide range
    of challenges facing the new administration, including the
    global economic crisis, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Durbin also
    shared impressions of his recent visit to Cyprus, including
    the prospects for progress this year in the negotiations, as
    well as weaknesses in civil society. Papandreou thanked
    Durbin for his work in the Senate on Greek-Turkish relations
    and other issues of importance to Greece. Papandreou said
    that now is the time for us to work together, and he endorsed
    what he called President Obama's "message to world" to solve
    our common problems. Papandreou said that although Greece is
    a "smaller country," it can contribute to stability in
    surrounding regions, and he noted in particular Greece's
    historic relationships with the Muslim world.

    ΒΆ3. (SBU) Durbin noted the importance of President Obama's
    first Executive Order on Guantanamo, torture, and ensuring
    humane standards for rendition, and Papandreou expressed
    strong support, adding that he had publicly used the
    President's statement about security and freedom not being
    mutually exclusive. He agreed that there is currently an
    opportunity for the U.S. to create a different image around
    the world, observing that in the past it was easy for groups
    opposed to our shared democratic values to point to torture
    as a way to discredit the U.S. Papandreou said that while
    the U.S. could not "dictate solutions," it was the "only
    power in the world that can lead" in promoting our values.
    Papandreou said we would have his support in this effort.

    Seeking a Large EU Stimulus
    ---------------------------
    ΒΆ4. (SBU) Papandreou said that early parliamentary elections
    were a real possibility in Greece, and he noted that opinion
    polls showed PASOK would likely win. He stressed that the
    current government had been weakened by internal and external
    crises, and Greece needed a new government that would have
    the credibility with society to make difficult decisions and
    to mobilize people. Telling the delegation "we can work with
    you," Papandreou noted that his top priority in government
    would be the same as President Obama's: dealing with the
    economic situation. Papandreou said it would be in the
    interest of both Greece and the U.S. to push the EU to
    consider a larger stimulus package on the model of the U.S.
    stimulus. He said the EU should do its part to encourage
    investment for the good of the global economy. Papandreou
    lamented that the EU's cumbersome rules and the opposition of
    key members -- especially an overly inflation-phobic Germany
    -- had constrained the EU response to the crisis. He called
    for the EU to relax its "master criteria" that require member
    states to run no more than a 3 percent budget deficit,
    arguing that these rules made no sense in a recession. He
    also expressed support for ending disparities in interest
    rates for loans within the euro zone.

    ΒΆ5. (SBU) Durbin noted that energy independence was a key goal
    of the U.S. stimulus, and that the package's investment in
    renewable energy had resonated with the U.S. public.
    Papandreou agreed, noting it would be possible "to power
    Greece only with wind." He expressed support for new
    windmills based on traditional Greek designs, so that tourist
    areas would embrace them as part of the Greek "brand" rather
    than opposing them as an eyesore. He added that Greece had
    the potential to do more with solar, water, and geothermal
    power. Papandreou also agreed with the Ambassador's
    suggestion that Greece look at developing its communication
    infrastructure, noting the economic benefits of expanding
    broadband access.

    ΒΆ6. (SBU) Asked by Durbin for his views on trade, Papandreou
    emphasized that he was not a protectionist, but instead took
    the social democratic view that markets should be open but
    governed by rules to encourage development. He said he would
    like to see an organization like the IMF that would do more
    to put clear, strict international rules on financial
    development, "geared toward where we want to move the
    planet," including greater use of renewable energy. He
    expressed support for "incentives for free competition" in
    the WTO that would over time improve the poor conditions that
    workers currently face in many poor countries. Papandreou
    said both the U.S. and EU should be more open for trade in
    agriculture. He noted that Greece could do well as a niche
    producer of high-quality agricultural goods in a more
    competitive market.

    ΒΆ7. (SBU) Giannoulias asked about the alarming growth in
    Greece's public debt, and Papandreou agreed it was a problem,
    unlike private debt and toxic assets, two problems Greece had
    largely managed to avoid. Papandreou said Greece lacked of
    competitiveness, and this could be dealt with through
    modernization, including moving toward a green economy. He
    noted that Greece was made more vulnerable to the global
    financial crisis because its banks had invested heavily in
    the Balkans. He peppered the delegation with questions about
    how the U.S. was responding to the current economic
    challenges in the areas of real estate, unemployment, and
    public transportation. Durbin and Giannoulias noted the
    importance of infrastructure investment as part of the U.S.
    stimulus.

    Papandreou's International Outreach
    -----------------------------------
    ΒΆ8. (SBU) Papandreou said his position as leader of the
    Socialist International had given him access to a wide range
    of leftist parties around the world, some in power and some
    not. Noting that he had helped eastern European communist
    parties to democratize after the fall of the Berlin Wall,
    Papandreou said he would be willing to reach out to
    confrontational leaders in Latin America or elsewhere in the
    world if the U.S. thought he could be of use in building
    connections. Papandreou noted that the Socialist
    International had brought together Palestinian and Israeli
    parties to discuss peace plans, and that he had discussed
    with Pakistani President Zardari the idea of setting up a
    committee to find ways to isolate terrorist groups without
    relying solely on force. Papandreou added that he had doubts
    about the wisdom of Zardari's recent cease-fire agreement
    that permits Sharia law in parts of Pakistan, but he
    understood that Zardari was in a difficult situation.
    Papandreou said he had developed contacts with such countries
    as Syria and Iran during his tenure as Foreign Minister
    (1999-2004).

    ΒΆ9. (SBU) Turning to Turkey and Cyprus, Papandreou stressed
    that as Foreign Minister he and his Turkish counterpart, the
    late Ismail Cem, had launched a new era in bilateral
    relations, based in part on a significant increase in
    person-to-person contacts. These started with mutual
    assistance efforts following earthquakes in both countries in
    1999 and continued with exchanges in music, soccer, business,
    and local government. By the initiative's second year,
    Papandreou said, there were so many cross-border civil
    society activities that it was impossible to count them. He
    said he had promoted similar efforts in Cyprus, including a
    high-profile case in which a Turkish Cypriot boy with
    leukemia had been matched with a Greek Cypriot donor. These
    initiatives stopped after the failed referendum in Cyprus in
    ΒΆ2004. Papandreou said it would be important to push on
    initiatives such as these when PASOK is back in power. If
    the leadership empowers people to establish contacts, he
    said, those contacts will happen.

    ΒΆ10. (U) CODEL Durbin departed post prior to clearing this
    cable.
