Meanwhile, the new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras used a more conciliatory tone. He rejected what he called “scaremongering” about the position of his government in ransom negotiations and added that while Greek citizens expect to conduct complicated negotiations with lenders in the euro area, they will be conducted “in a European context”.
Tsipras said surprised that many “powerful European forces” support the objective of his government to implement policies aimed at promoting economic growth and not just debt reduction.
“Europe needs a break and it certainly should be done through mutual understanding and common action”, said Tsipras. “However, there is no need to keep pushing these economies and should guide us to drive growth.”
