Germay, France and EC increase pressure on Greece However, partners in the Greek coalition government drag their feet on meeting tough new austerity demands. Many question the logic of piling austerity onto austerity. George Karatzaferis, leader of far-right party LAOS, said: "I will not contribute to the explosion of a revolution from destitution that will burn all of Europe." Among other reforms, the EU and the International Monetary Fund are said to want a 20pc reduction in the €750 monthly minimum wage, a 15pc cut in supplementary pensions; and 15,000 civil service redundancies this year. The European Commission stressed on Monday that Greece was already late in meeting Brussels demands for a political deal to re-shape its economy and slash its debts in exchange for a new bailout. "The truth is that we are already past the deadline," said EU euro commissioner Olli Rehn's spokesman Amadeu Altafaj, as Greek Prime Minister Lucas Papademos resumed talks in Athens with creditors, political parties and trade unions. He said Greece had "lived beyond its means for a very long time." Maria Damanaki, the Greek European Commisisoner, revealed on Monday that scenarios for Greece's exit from euro have turned to plans. She told the To Vima tis Kyriakis newspaper that discussion over a Greek default had moved over the last year from contingencies to "preparations." Now they're not simply scenarios. They are alternative plans that are being openly studied. They are not preferable at the moment. What is promoted is Greece's internal devaluation within the eurozone. But there is preparation for other solutions, if Greece doesn't make it despite its efforts, to continue on the eurozone path," she said. A European Commission spokesman said: "I have no comment on the Fishery Commissioner's comments on the financial situation in Greece." In the afternoon on Monday, a government source told AFP that said Greek political leaders would "very probably" meet on Tuesday to decide whether to approve new austerity measures demanded by the country's public creditors. The meeting was to have been held on Monday. Eurozone partners have been angered by the failure of Greece to deliver on promised privatisations of state assets or an avowed drive to root out corruption and cut red tape in tax collection.
