said” There have been no new developments and that there was nothing to discuss, “he said.
Tsipras also planned to return to Brussels hold new discussions in person on Friday, but did not.
Instead, rejected on Friday as “absurd” the terms of aid proposed by the country’s creditors and delayed payment of debt to the International Monetary Fund .
In a defiant speech to seek the support of Parliament to their rejection of the austerity package in return for financial aid, Tsipras balanced indignation with the confidence that a deal to keep his country in the the single currency bloc was “closer than ever”.
“We know it’s partly a theater, but we have to play a role in every scene of the drama,” the EU official said.
