Greece: The systemic propaganda continues unabated and that's good news!
The latest attack by the banking-media establishment in Greece was launched against the Alternate Minister of Administrative Reform, George Katrougalos, who appeared signing “contracts up until January the 27th 2015 - two days after SYRIZA's election win - which would see him paid commissions via his former law firm for securing the re-hiring of suspended public employees.” (http://www.thetoc.gr/eng/politics/article/katrougalos-denounces-plan-to-undermine-government)
The target was not picked accidentally. Katrougalos was always expressing his clear position on the side of those public employees who have lost their jobs, as troika demanded under previous governments in Greece. The banking-media establishment was always hostile against Katrougalos and other SYRIZA MPs who were referred to the mass layoffs as being unconstitutional.
Through his new position, Katrougalos will re-examine the layoffs and re-establish justice and constitutionality, giving a chance to public employees return to their jobs. Therefore, the target was carefully picked.
The establishment senses a serious threat by the new Greek government, especially after the decision to form a committee to audit public debt (http://failedevolution.blogspot.gr/2015/03/greece-forms-commission-to-audit-public.html). Many scandals will be revealed and the possibility for Greece to write off a significant amount of the debt through international law, would be another nightmare for the local and European oligarchs. This would be another major defeat against their plans to impose permanent neoliberal and austerity conditions in eurozone, as many other countries may follow the Greek example to succeed a relief from unbearable debt and change course towards growth, public investments and spending on social benefits.
As previous governments - directly connected with the banking-media establishment and the local oligarchs - have been involved in numerous scandals, they lost reliability and, therefore, much of their strength. The only hope for the establishment to throw SYRIZA from power and bring another government-puppet, is to start presenting it as being corrupted too.

Why this behaviour by the system inside Greece and abroad is good news? Simply because it provides another proof that Tsipras administration is not attached to the big interests, but only to the interests of the Greek and the European people.
