The members of the Commission of Inquiry comb through the text of the Conclusion word by word after the complaints of the vice president of ANEL Dimitris Kammenou that 'an invisible hand ‘ added elements that did not exist before. As Andreas Loverdos from the Democratic Symparataxi tells Capital.gr, it was a mockery of its members since until the last moment there were assurances that the changes were only in the editorial and certain wordings, but nothing important. They even gave this picture yesterday, as can be seen from the official minutes of the meeting of the Investigative Committee, but also at the start of its last meeting on Monday evening. According to information, the same assurances were given by both the President of the Commission Ant. Balomenakis as well as the SYRIZA rapporteur Sp. Lappa before the start of both yesterday's session and last Friday's, when it was first announced that the Majority Decision would have certain changes. These assurances seem to have had a reassuring effect on the members of the Inquiry as, as they admit, 'they did not sit down to comb the text that was delivered to them last Friday' word by word.

At any reasonable discount rate the net present value of this sum far exceeds the 100 billion, without counting other losses (B.C. in the value of banks).The third memorandum that followed the operatic referendum was based mainly on increasing taxes and, to a lesser extent, in timed cost cutting (insurance). At the same time, it contained terms that if signed by previous governments, the then opposition of SYRIZA and ANEL would ask for the heads of the rulers on a table (B.C. Super fund). While the declared goal of the government was to complete the evaluations in a short period of time, the negotiations seem endless and often seem to take place in a highly confrontational atmosphere. These maintain a climate of uncertainty, lead to postponement of important investment and consumption decisions, lower growth rates and persistence of very high unemployment rates. Low asset valuations and high unemployment of skilled labor could be a lure to attract investment. However, a series of ministerial decisions created a particularly negative climate. Privatizations in particular are seen even today as a necessary evil, rather than as a development tool.
