The hawks Germans: “Angela Merkel prepares to Grexit” – The Republic

MILAN – Athens is prepared to compromise, but Germany began to think the exit of Greece from the euro. Writes the Bild, the German newspaper closer to the positions of the hawks of the Eurozone, according to which “now also Angela Merkel is preparing for a Grexit”, especially after the stalemate at the end of three with French President Francois Hollande and Prime Minister greek Alexis Tsipras. The German government spokesman, however, denied the newspaper and said: “Our attitude is not changed
. We work to ensure that Greece remains a member of the Eurozone.”

Berlin, however, has to deal with 50 % of Germans no longer want to Athens in the euro. And so the Falcons Germans apparently yes a headlong rush, but not by much because the technicians in Brussels have also started working on the assumption that only defualt Athens until a few days ago was locked in a drawer. So the markets are down, with the Greek stock exchange that closes the day with a fall of 6%.

A little, therefore, need the intervention of the EU Commission President, Jean Claude Juncker that in the morning He said: “The negotiations will start again in the first instance on a technical level, the policy will come later.” Also because the Luxembourg echoed the president of the Eurogroup Jeron Dijsselbloem that referring to the abandonment of the negotiating table by the negotiators explained that there can be an agreement on Greece without the International Monetary Fund. And so while the hawks insist that Athens take “tough measures”, the government greek announces: “Without an agreement no repayment to the IMF at the end of June. We do not accept other cuts in salaries and pensions.”

In short the situation returns to complicate even as Greece began to emerge the first signs that the leaders of Syriza, the leftist party of Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, are preparing the party colleagues and people to the possibility that the government will sign an agreement with the creditors will not be viewed favorably by some parliamentarians or by voters.

“It is a compromise, we can not hide it,” said the spokesman of SYRIZA parliamentary Nikos Filis – as reported by the online edition of Kathimerini – concerning the ongoing negotiations with creditors, while admitting that “the negotiations have not been scheduled as effectively.” Filis has however insisted that any agreement Tsipras will take home will be “the best possible deal and receive the support of parliamentarians of SYRIZA.”

On the calendar of creditors, however, the date is circled in red the next will be held June 18 when the Eurogroup decisive. Without an agreement, Greece will run faster to the default. The president of the EU Council, Donald Tusk said: “I hope that that is the decisive day, otherwise some might say game over .”
