Greece, Berlin: "An error grant six months to Athens" – The Daily

->

“Grant six months to Greece is a mistake.” On the eve of ‘ Eurogroup on the case Greek from Istanbul G20 Finance Minister German Wolfgang Schaeuble has so closed the door to the latest proposal of Athens to take time without formalize bankruptcy. “We will not have a new program tomorrow,” then strengthened the concept stressing that “the Eurozone has never imposed a rescue program in Athens” and that “no one outside Greece can be held responsible for the country’s problems” .

According to what transpired in the morning, the proposal of the Government Tsipras for the Eurogroup is a package of five points. Including an extension of the bridge program from late May to late August and the abolition of about 30% of the Memorandum signed with the Troika of creditors and replacing it with a package of 10 reforms to prepare in collaboration with ‘ OECD . The package also provides a substantial reduction in the primary surplus, from 3% to 1.5% envisaged in the memorandum, an intervention by the situation of widespread poverty in the country. According to the consultants hired by the government of Lazard Tsipras cancellation of 100 billion euro of Greek debt would allow the country to cut the burden in line with the targets set out by international authorities in the rescue plan.

The statements of Schaeuble, however, threw cold water on market expectations that had reacted positively imagining closer the possibility of an agreement between the EU and Athens. To the point that the square Hellenic recorded a rebound that has earned almost 8 percent. The performance was affected by the American support to the greek case with the US Treasury Secretary, Jack Lew , which during the G20 asked the parties a “pragmatic” approach.
