Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"
Greece’s Finance Minister, Nadia Valavani, has resigned her position after telling Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that she couldn’t support the bailout measures.
“Alexis, I am ready to serve in any capacity to the end during challenges. However, when our delegation returned with liabilities that are ‘stillborn measures’ and at such a price [by the creditors in fulfilling the reforms program], once again when the dilemma appears of retreating or Grexit, it will be impossible for me to remain a member of the government,” reads Valavani’s letter of resignation.
This ‘capitulation’ is so overwhelming that it will not allow a regrouping of forces. With your signature there will be a deterioration in the status of an already suffering population, and this will be a tombstone around their necks for many years with little potential of redemption,” she wrote.
Valavani was in charge of taxation and overseeing privatization in the nation.
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expanded on initial criticisms offered Tuesday of the deal between Tsipras and EU officials, saying that Greece’s debts now exceed $300 billion and that creditors will have to write off some of the debt if there is any hope of Greece repaying what it owes.
The European Commission has been critical of giving more money to Greece than what is already being offered.
“Greece has already received more international financing than all of Europe did from the U.S. Marshall Plan after the Second World War,” Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker said.
Greece’s energy minister, Panagiotis Lafazanis, said Wednesday that even if the deal passes the Parliament, the country’s people will never accept it and unite against it.
