Athens has jumped at the ball provided by the Financial Times, he described what has every appearance of a split in the Brussels Group, the former “troika” of the EU Commission, ECB and IMF. According to the financial daily, the recent European financial summit in Riga, the IMF would demand a new debt restructuring greek, without which it would not be available to finance its share of aid (would cover nearly half of the last tranche not yet It paid 7.2 billion euro). This is because, he explained the director of the European department of the IMF’s Poul Thomsen, the current reality of the Greek government accounts is far worse than what was budgeted in the compensation plane.
