'Germans dare Greeks to kickstart Euro exit'
Violent austerity protests have erupted in the Italian city of Naples, after enraged demonstrators attempted to storm a local tax office.

This, as Europe experiences new tensions stemming from a deadlocked government in Greece. Germany, though, is already guarding against any possible fallout, saying the Euro could survive with or without Greece.

Debt End: 'Greeks at the cliff'
Greek party leaders have sent written commitments to Brussels saying they will stick to the agreed austerity measures even after the general elections in April.

Matina Stevis on Greek Elections, the Golden Dawn, and the End of an Era
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Welcome to Capital Account. This weekend we saw elections in Europe - the most important occurring in France and Greece. Although the former resulted in the ousting of Nicolas Sarkozy, who has been at the helm in France since the beginning of this crisis, the latter is arguably more important as it has shaken the foundation of EU and IMF-led reforms in the deficit countries. Greece has been the poster child for the Eurozone crisis. Its economy has contracted significantly since the onset of the crisis, miring it in a deep depressionthat has resulted in untold hardship for a great mass of the people, violent riots, and intense anxiety about the future of the country. The party that has presided over the country from the onset of this economic and social depression has been PASOK, whose leadership has chosen to negotiate with the country's creditors, the IMF and the EU, rather than unilaterally default and exit the single currency union that is the Euro. This has become an increasingly unpopular stance in Greece, as the terms of both bailouts negotiated with its creditors have widely been seen as detrimental to the country's economic and political future, deflating the domestic economy and replacing the country's former prime minister with a technocrat and former central banker. Throughout this entire process, the country's leaders have avoided calls for new elections amidst popular anger directed increasingly at the 300 members of Greek ...

Greek Junk: Condemned to slow death
Greece has just been thrust further into junk status by the Fitch credit rating agency, which is predicting a Greek default very soon. That as the government in Athens rushes through its most punishing package of cuts yet. They're a precondition for the next 130 billion Euro bailout - which will be handed over once Athens yields to the last of the EU's demands. But unions, weary of years of austerity, are already mobilising for new rallies. Today and tomorrow - it's expected that thousands will surround the Greek Parliament.

Greek Tragedy turns Comedy with Troika document leak, as Obama's Boeing PR Crashes in Wichita
Follow us @ twitter.com twitter.com Greece has a bailout agreement, but does the country have a chance at growing it's way out of debt as the Troika and Greek politicians continue to claim? A look at a debt sustainability assessment document leaked to the Financial Times from inside these negotiations shows that even the best-case projections used to justify the bailout don't even meet the minimum threshold publicly demanded by the IMF. The baseline scenarios, which are so rosy that it's hard not to laugh when looking at the numbers, have Greece returning to positive economic growth within two years, and an end to the recession by next year. Who is making these projection, and what basis is there in reality for them? Lauren speaks to Capital Account producer Demetri Kofinas, who says that the numbers are a total farce, and that no one has any clue what the Greek economy will look like in a year, let alone over the next two decades, which is what this document attempts to asses. And the US state department hosts the first global business conference. Looks like even Hilary Clinton is a job recruiter these days. At the same time Barack Obama is strolling around the country touting his big jobs initiatives, picking Boeing as the perfect example of what's right with US manufacturing and job creation.

Engdahl: Greek bailout terms remind of Hitler
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is urging her lawmakers to support the new rescue package for Greece. This despite worries that Athens will need even more cash in the future, and suggestions from Germany's Interior Minister that it's time Greece left the Eurozone altogether. The 130-billion euro bailout was agreed in principle last week after months of tense discussions among the Eurozone leaders. Germany, as Europe's richest economy, has to contribute the majority towards it. But there is a sense of unease in Berlin that it will have to keep coughing up cash to prevent a Greek debt default. It's the second bailout in a little over 18 months would ensure Athens can pay its debtors for the time being. To discuss the possible outcome of this package,RT's joined by political analyst William Engdahl. RT on Twitter: twitter.com RT on Facebook: www.facebook.com

Possibility of Greek exit from eurozone
A final round of coalition talks are set to take place on Tuesday for Greece's political parties in a final bid by President Karolos Papoulias to broker a deal for a coalition government and break the deadlock of elections that have left the country in political limbo. The far left Syriza party has refused to participate in the talks. This has made the prospect of a parliament set against austerity a real possibility for the country, and now, also being discussed by the European Central Bank's governing council.

Greek on The Brink: Economic Collapse Inevitable
The bank runs that we are watching right now in Greece are shocking, but they are only just the beginning. Since May 6th, nearly one billion dollars has been withdrawn from Greek banks. For a small nation like Greece, that is an absolutely catastrophic number. At this point, the entire Greek banking system is in danger of collapsing. If you had money in a Greek bank, why wouldn't you pull it out? If Greece leaves the euro, all euros in Greek banks will likely be converted to drachmas, and the value of those drachmas will almost certainly decline dramatically. In fact, it has been estimated that Greek citizens could see the value of their bank accounts decline by up to 50 percent if Greece leaves the euro. So if you had money in a Greek bank, it would only make sense to withdraw it and move it to another country as quickly as possible. And as the eurozone begins to unravel, this is a scenario that we are going to see play out in country after country. As member nations leave the eurozone, you would be a fool to have your euros in Italian banks or Spanish banks when you could have them in German banks instead. So the bank runs that are happening in Greece right now are only a preview of things to come. Before this crisis is over we are going to see bank runs happening all over Europe. If Greece leaves the euro, the consequences are likely to be quite messy. Those that are promoting the idea that a "Grexit" can be done in an orderly fashion are not being particularly honest ...

Deeper Greek recession forecast
www.euronews.com Greece's economy is set to contract by a deeper than expected five percent this year according to the country's central bank chief, worse than the 4.5 percent decline previously forecast. A lone protester holding a sign reading 'Give us back our bonds' and 'Give us back our money' stood on the steps of the central bank as inside the governor gave his annual report and a pep talk for what must happen after next week's election. George Provopoulos said: "Greece's economy needs to make progress towards stability. We need to be completely ready immediately after the elections so the war can be won on all fronts, beginning with building a decisive and flexible state that's competitive and has social cohesion." Provopoulos urged whoever is elected on 6 May to stick to Greece's punishing austerity measures which have the country in its fifth year of recession. But homeless people camping across the street from Athens' stock exchange building are a reminder how the latest grimmer growth forecast means more misery for the Greek people.

Greek Battlefield: Video of Athens clashes with police
Greek anger over new austerity measures and layoffs erupted into violence outside parliament on Wednesday, as demonstrators hurled chunks of marble and gasoline bombs and riot police responded with tear gas and stun grenades that echoed across Athens' main square. Police said at least 14 officers were hospitalised with injuries, and at least three journalists covering the demonstrations sustained minor injuries. The violence spread across the city centre, as at least 100-thousand people marched through the Greek capital on the first day of a two-day general strike that unions described as the largest protest in years. Most of the protesters marched peacefully, but crowds outside of parliament clashed with police who tried to disperse them with repeated rounds of tear gas. Hundreds of rioting youths smashed and looted stores in central Athens on Wednesday after the mass anti-government rally against the new painful austerity measures. Police and rioters held running battles through the narrow streets of central Athens, as thick black smoke from burning rubbish and bus-stops set ablaze filled the city's skyline and obscured its ancient monuments. A gasoline bomb set fire to a presidential guard sentry post at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier outside Parliament, while running clashes broke out in several side streets near the legislature and the capital's main Syntagma Square. Nearby, groups of hooded, masked protesters tore chunks of marble off building fronts with hammers ...
