[01] Venizelos blasts all sides over handling of events on CyprusAMNA--PASOK leader Evangelos Venizelos, head of a junior party in Greece's coalition government, on Wednesday heaped strong criticism on all sides over their handling of developments on Cyprus, during a meeting of his PASOK's Political Council.The PASOK leader's barrage of broadsides spared neither the 'inner core' of Eurozone countries, nor European socialists, nor the French government for supporting Germany's proposals, nor the Cypriots themselves, who had failed to forestall the crisis. He also had hard words for those in Greece and Cyprus that blamed the Greek PSI for Cyprus' problems, namely the main opposition SYRIZA-EKM party and opposition Independent Greeks. According to Venizelos, the statement by Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem about applying Cyprus-style haircuts in other countries was "dangerous" and he underlined that lingering uncertainty within Europe's banking system must be not be permitted. He also stressed that Europe, instead of overcoming the crisis, was recycling and reproducing it, while completely overlooking the geopolitical aspects of the Cyprus problem and the island republic's role as "Europe's forward outpost in the region of the Eastern Mediterranean".amna He warned of the dangers for the Eurozone if the theory of "safe and unsafe banks" were allow to predominate, or of countries borrowing at low rates and countries borrowing at high rates. In his attacks on SYRIZA and Ind. Greeks, Venizelos said they had suffered a "strategic defeat" and accused them of investing in Greece's destruction, since their arguments were providing an escape route for specific interests and person that should be apologising.
