After German Chancellor Angela Merkel on Saturday discard reduction of Greek debt, Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras said yesterday that the obligation to respect the mandate of the Greek people (end austerity policy) “does not in any way not fully respect our debt obligations with the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund.”
Tsipras supplemented its statement, released by Bloomberg, saying trust in relation to the possibilities that has the proposed agreement between Greece and Europe, “with mutual benefits”, but without hiding their need for time to give life “to a program that includes not only the balance of the country, but radical reforms to enable it to effectively deal with tax evasion, corruption and political patronage “.
In that sense, the new Greek government offered Sunday generate proposals in a span of one month to a revised debt deal with its i nternational partners skeptical, and insisted that in that span not ask fresh loans.
The proposal comes after talks in Paris where the French finance minister, Michel Sapin, offered support to his Greek counterpart Yanis Varoufakis to develop an agreement possibly including ease the burden of Greek debt but not its complete cancellation. Varoufakis visiting Paris as part of the diplomatic offensive of the Greek leftist leaders to the conditions imposed for the payment of its debt while leaving the austerity measures are modified.
By setting a tentative schedule to renegotiate its bailout program 240 billion euros, Varoufakis said that if the Greek government has until the end of the month to prepare detailed proposals could negotiate a realistic agreement with its partners in six weeks.
In an interview to Hamburger Abendblatt, showing a much more sympathetic spirit, Angela Merk el said on his part that “now the great object is that Greece remains one of the member countries of the eurozone”. He added that Germany, like other countries of the European Union, expected to “know what kind of mechanisms think back approach us the Greek government.”
“If I were a responsible Greek politician not stimulate any discussion of a new cut debt,” he told the newspaper Die Welt Wolfgang Schaeuble, German Finance Minister, rejecting claims by which it is liable to the government in Berlin have imposed the rigor and austerity to countries in crisis. The EU decision, said Schaeuble, are taken by majority, meaning that “the rules of the Stability Pact are not a German taxation”.
Brussels sources have anticipated that the head of the Greek government will meet Wednesday with President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, while Tsipras will go t o Paris for talks with President Francois Hollande. With information from agencies
