New elections or referendum is the most likely political scenario to happen in the months to come, a period of artificial crisis. 

Why Mr. Alexis Tsipras ordered his party members not to harshly attack against Mr. Antonis Samaras? What is in the mind of the Minister of Finance, Mr. Yianis Varoufakis, when he talks about a "simple life"?

Which is the purpose behind the flirt with Russia? Why Mr. Christos Spirtzis, Chairman of the Technical Chamber of Greece, was given the role of Deputy Minister of Infrastructure?

We answer that the answers to the above questions lead to new elections or a referendum.And we explain ourselves. 

Mr. Alexis Tsipras and his coalition, with the help of the older PASOK, did not come to the power temporarily but to remain in it as much it can -and why not forever. 

His ascension to power was not occasional at all. It is the result of a Leninist-type plan which was largely successful and certainly has not been completed yet.

The first step of this plan had a key goal to dissolve the under Mr. Evangelos Venizelos PASOK and also the Democratic Left. 

In addition, this plan aimed at destroying through populist rhetoric the centre-right space, leading it to a split. Furthermore, having predicted the lack of absolute majority in the elections of January 25th, Mr. Alexis Tsipras, not only had he reached an agreement to form a coalition government with Mr. Panos Kammenos, but in some cases he actually helped Independent Greeks to attract votes from New Democracy as well. 

Thus, Mr. Alexis Tsipras via the first plan managed to get the power and the second part of the plan is already being implemented, which is to ensure the absolute majority in the parliament. 

This practically means that he will kick Independent Greeks from the government and will simultaneously blackmail Europe and the Greek public opinion with the public debt and the famous "national pride” being at stake. 

In this context, the first essential move of Mr. Alexis Tsipras will be the proposal and the majority voting for the President of Democracy coming from the opposition.

Probably, this person will be Mr. Dimitris Avramopoulos -who actually woos for the role and at the same time as a Greek Commissioner in the European Union, he wants to get rid of a difficult portfolio.

The question is who is going to replace him in the EC, MEP Dimitris Papadimoulis or the Professor Giannis Milios. In any case, this move will create problems in New Democracy while at the same time Mr. Alexis Tsipras’s image improve and will demonstrate that he is the "prime minister of all Greeks."

The second move of the new prime minister will be the creation of a fake -or actual- crisis in his negotiations with our unique lenders, the European partners, who seem divided over the tactics that needs to be followed toward the Greek government -and, finally, it is very likely they will proceed to concessions which in the interior will be presented as great achievements of "a proud negotiation strategy."

On the other hand, if Europeans do not back off, then by using the motto of a "simple life", the Greek government will create conditions of an hysterical 'national pride' and will definitely move to an “in-or-out of the Eurozone” referendum.

In this case, a "yes" vote will grant it the opportunity of legitimizing a dramatic "somersault" and implement a policy of a "simple life" with the approval of people.Needless also to note that a "yes" vote will allow Mr. Alexis Tsipras to proceed to radical changes inside his party and find strong center-left allies outside of it.

During all of these possible developments, a third move will be the creation of positive impressions in the Greek society with the revelation of some major corruption cases, tax evasion, etc.

This will give to Greek people the impression that this government is really determined to implement the law in any direction, unlike its predecessor which concealed things.

The prime minister will therefore significantly improve its image.

Through the internet the climate for similar cases is already being prepared, and we can safely assume that this will spectacularly continue.

However, the serious question remains: what will happen with the economy during the following quarter and in what way serious problems in the market crisis will be overcome, like those of a stock market crash, tax shortfall and complete freeze on investments. 

Could the possible scenarios described above be speeded up? 

Is it possible, now that loans come to an end that the real and very deep crisis of the Greek society and economy will be actually demonstrated under conditions of serious anger?

Because history teaches us that even the very good Generals, when they play the role of apprentice magicians, what follows is not only a farce.
