It ‘a real ultimatum that the eurozone members submit to the government of Alexis Tsipras after the’ no ‘of Athens the proposal to extend the bailout.
Varoufakis, ask extending four months
“Greece has until Friday ‘to accept the proposal,” says the president of the Eurogroup Jeroen dry Djsselbloem, that “there is’ time and space to agree on the scope of the current program.” From the Eurozone, he adds, “there is no ‘no intention to convene a summit of heads of state and government” of the single currency to address the issue. Dijsselboem declined to answer questions on the assumption of a failure to require, by Athens, the extension of the program here at Friday ‘, confirming the fact of considering this possibility’ no alternative. “It ‘Greece must decide in coming days whether to seek the extension of the program of financial aid or not – said – in this case, will be’ possible to find an agreement in the Eurogroup to grant the use of the maximum flexibility ‘as possible in the frame of the program “.
” There is no alternative to the exten sion of a request for extension of the aid program by Greece, “he also reiterated the EU Commissioner for Economic Affairs Pierre Moscovici, who well in the afternoon had shown more ‘possibilist than the possibility’ of an agreement.
But the outcome was rather Eurogroup announced and ‘began to understand when the German Minister of Finance, Wolfgang Schaeuble, has clearly spoke of skepticism “in the outcome of the meeting and accused the government Tsipras to carry on the negotiations in an” irresponsible. “” I’m sorry for the Greeks, have elected a government that currently is behaving irresponsibly, “said Schaeuble in a radio interview, “I think that this new government is all a great poker hand.” Asked about the possibility ‘that Athens bait euro, the German Minister replied that “is not’ what we want” but it’s up to his counterpart Hellenic Yanis Varoufakis, make a decision. The forecast of the German Minister of Finance and ‘fulfilled in full and meeting in progress that started from a leaked rumors of Greek side on the draft agreement that partners have submitted to the government in Athens. Greek government sources have described as “unreasonable” and “unacceptable” the draft presented to the finance ministers of the Eurogroup. “Some want the government implements greek rescue, and that ‘unreasonable and unacceptable.” “Those who continue to beat these keys are losing time. The Minister of Economy, Pier Carlo Padoan, continues to exclude the risk that Athens might leave the euro.” It seems to me totally out of control, “he said. However, Also the Italian Treasury Minister joins the chorus of demands of European colleagues: If Greece does not ask ‘the extension of the aid program by the institutions and European partners, “there is’ a problem of shor t-term loans running out and you do not understand even the most prospects ‘long term. “So,” I very much hope that we can find a common solution within the European mechanisms “. These come with a’ flexibility ‘that you can’ use to accommodate the demands of priority ‘of the authorities’ Greek ‘. And the vise tightens around Athens also from the front IMF: no progress on reforms by Greece, the International Monetary Fund will not make’ payments, claims the number one Fund Monetary, Chrisitine Lagarde. “Will address the process of ongoing review and evaluate whether some or a large part of the commitments have been implemented or not. If we conclude that so ‘is not’ state, there will be no payments from the IMF.” (AGI).
