" The Greek government's continued resistance is placing numerous German projects for restructuring the Greek economy and administration in jeopardy. In the short term, these projects - under the auspices of the German Foreign Ministry and Germany's Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) - are aimed at overcoming German production bottlenecks by using idle Greek suppliers and unemployed workers. The medium-term action program includes siphoning finances from Greek municipalities and providing the German health system cheap Greek auxiliaries ("Nursing Leave on Rhodes Island"). To comply with future higher requirements, Athens is being asked to establish an "innovation system" to form a network between "science, economy, and administration" to create "business-friendly structures." These measures will be coordinated by the German-Greek Assembly (DGV), working allegedly in the "spirit of a grassroots movement." The DGV has no legal function and is registered under a German government address. Disguised as a civil society organization, while also serving the German Foreign Ministry and its "German-Greek Youth Foundation," the DGV was established by the German Chancellery during the first peak in the so-called debt crisis.
The DGV's Berlin address points to Parliamentary State Secretary Hans-Joachim Fuchtel (CDU), a parliamentarian from Baden-Württemberg. Fuchtel has been the German-Greek Assembly's Coordinator since 2011, and is dealing with Greek municipal economy. To obtain lucrative contracts, representatives of Greek cities and municipalities are being flown in for "workshops" organized by German businesses exporting costly products. In January 2015, for example, these trips - financed by the German government - were made to the German cities Backnang, Bamberg and Schwaebisch Hall. According to the "Südwest Presse" in Ulm, these potential customers from Greek municipalities are either "independent or conservative politicians - in any case, not members of Syriza."
