Just over a week ago, Yanis Varoufakis would have crushed and mangled anyone who would dare suggest that Greece would extend its current bailout program, because, the myth went, the new Syriza government had a mandate to end the Troika (since renamed to "Institutions") and to crush the Memorandum (aka "existing bailout programme"). Since then much has changed, and confirming that the new government is really the old government, Europe can now rejoice, because as Bloomberg blasted moments ago:
- GREEK BAILOUT EXTENSION SAID TO BE APPROVED BY EURO AREA
Which means that as the "valiant" in words, if not deeds, new Greek government rolls over, the DAX is about to jump to new all time highs making rich Germans even richer. As for Greeks, not so much.
