Socialist MEP: 'The Troika in its current form must be dismantled' | EurActiv

Recent revelations about the way Greece was handled by the 'Troika' of international lenders - the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Central Bank (ECB) and the European Commission (EC) - has re-ignited the debate on the democratic accountability of the ad hoc institution. There was no clear legal basis when the Troika acted in bailout countries, and they did not even know where they stood, argues Liêm Hoang Ngoc in an interview with the EurActiv Network.

Liêm Hoang Ngoc is a French member of the European Parliament for the Socialist and Democrat group (S&D). He spoke to EurActiv Greece’s Sarantis Michalopoulos and EurActiv France’s Cécile Barbière, at the Assembly's plenary session in Strasbourg.
