France is apparently encouraging the private sector creditors to roll over some of the Greek debt and extend the maturity to thirty years. Unionists and communists in Greece are intending on striking for 48 hours and this will be the first national strike in the last 37 years. Strikers will be carrying placards in English so that other countries will understand what the communists and unionists are saying. The strike will coincide with the Greek Parliament debates on the topic of austerity measures demanded by Brussels.

It must be said that there are advantages to rolling over debt in this way. Taxes are used to pay the interest on the debt and the capital is never actually settled. Nations simply continue to borrow and to roll over the outstanding money. Greece however has come to the place where the debt may not continue to be rolled over any longer. The Greeks are at a point where they are resistant to accepting a debt burden so that the creditors can be placated.
