Από την πλευρά της Ν.Δ. με non paper στο οποίο αναφέρονται τόσο οι προβλέψεις του Μνημονίου όσο και οι προβλέψεις των όρων που υπέγραψε η κυβέρνηση στο τελευταίο Eurogoup με αντιστοίχιση. Το συγκεκριμένο non paper δεν το δημοσιεύσαμε εχθές, πριν να το ελέγξουμε - άλλωστε η εμπιστοσύνη μας στο συγκεκριμένο κόμμα είναι από μικρή έως ανύπαρκτη - ως προς την ορθότητα του. Το αστείο της υπόθεσης είναι ότι σε πάρα πολλές περιπτώσεις χρησιμοποιούνται επακριβώς τα σημεία του MoU εν ήδη copy paste.
Παρακάτω βλέπουμε τους πίνακες του non paper της Ν.Δ. και την αντιστοίχιση του MoU με τη συμφωνία Βαρουφάκη.......

Μηλιός, Λαπατσιώρας και Σωτηρόπουλος....
- Την απουσία σοβαρού σχεδίου που να στηρίζεται σε αριθμούς και ανάλυση.
- Την εκφορά κάποιων γενικών αρχών της πρότασης για την απομείωση του χρέους από το Λονδίνο.
- Η κυβέρνηση έδωσε πολύ μεγάλο βάρος στην επικοινωνιακή διαχείριση του θέματος, σε σχέση με άλλες διαστάσεις. Αυτό αποτελεί αρνητικό σημάδι και για το εσωτερικό και για το εξωτερικό. Για παράδειγμα, το περιστατικό με τον Γερούν Ντάισελμπλουμ προφανώς τόνωσε το «εθνικό αίσθημα», αλλά συγχρόνως αφαίρεσε διαπραγματευτική ισχύ. (το πλήρες κείμενο εδώ)
ο κ. Μηλιός μιλάει για υποχώρηση της κυβέρνησης στις προεκλογικές της δεσμεύσεις, κάνει λόγο για μία συμφωνία ασαφή, χωρίς αριθμούς, ενώ υποστηρίζει πως το μόνο που πέτυχε ο υπουργός Οικονομικών είναι η αλλαγή στην ορολογία («θεσμοί», «υφιστάμενος διακανονισμός»). Μάλιστα, χαρακτηρίζει τη συμφωνία της 20ής Φεβρουαρίου ως ένα πρώτο βήμα σε ολισθηρό έδαφος.
Στο κείμενο αναφέρεται πως το τοπίο που οργανώνεται είναι ασφυκτικό και ελάχιστα θυμίζει τα minimum που επιζητούσε η κυβέρνηση μέχρι και τις 12 Φεβρουαρίου.
Αναφερόμενος στο πού κρίθηκε η διαπραγμάτευση, ο κ. Μηλιός υποστηρίζει πως καθορίστηκε προφανώς τόσο από εξωτερικούς παράγοντες όσο και από εσωτερικούς, οι οποίοι τελικά έπαιξαν και τον καθοριστικό ρόλο.
Κάνει λόγο για ελλιπή προετοιμασία της κυβέρνησης και αντιφατικές τακτικές του ΥΠΟΙΚ, όπως για παράδειγμα:
