Besides convincing the troika that our debt sustainability analysis should avoid the austerity trap, we must overcome the second hurdle: the “reform trap.” The previous reform program, which our partners are so adamant should not be “rolled back” by our government, was founded on internal devaluation, wage and pension cuts, loss of labor protections, and price-maximizing privatization of public assets.
除了让三驾马车相信我们的债务可持续性分析应该避免紧缩陷阱之外，我们还必须克服第二个障碍：“改革陷阱”。此前的改革计划——要不是被希腊政府“踢了回去”，我们的合作伙伴对此相当坚决——建立在内部贬值、工资和退休金削减、劳动力保护减少和公共资产的价格最大化私有化的基础上。
