THERE IS NO "TROKA" ...GREECE HAS A GERMAN GOVERNOR - HORST REICHENBACH - ENOUGH LIES !!!! - Over in Greece our correspondent Helena Smith reports that the government has appealed for more time to press on with the troika’s most controversial of demands yet: public sector dismissals.
Inspectors from the EU, ECB and IMF have yet to respond, on a day in which Greek public workers protested again.
And in another worrying development, the University of Athens has suspended all its operations, saying it cannot keep functioning with so many staff laid off.

Barely two days after negotiations with visiting troika representatives began, prime minister Antonis Samaras’ coalition government has upped the ante asking for yet more time to implement reforms.
At a meeting with mission heads from the EU, ECB and IMF, the administrative reform minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis appealed for a two-month extension to the deadline Athens presently has to transfer some 12,500 civil servants into a so–called mobility scheme where employees would see their salaries drastically reduced before being moved, if lucky, to another government department.
Insiders at the ministry described the atmosphere of the talks “as very positive” – in sharp contrast to the environment outside where thousands of demonstrators gathered to issue howls of protests.
