[02] FinMin Tsakalotos: Difficult agreement but we have commitment for
debt restructuring
ANA/MPA---Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos addressing the parliament
committees on Wednesday said that a few months ago Greece's partners did
not even want to discuss the debt restructuring issue but with the new
agreement we have a clear commitment that the issue will be discussed
after the first evaluation.
"It is a difficult agreement, only time will tell if it is sustainable. It
contains recessionary measures that, under conditions, and if the debt
problem is solved and an investment programme exists and if the people see
it with optimism that the Grexit has left forever, it can bring growth"
he said.
When the negotiation is completed, in 3-4 weeks, we will see and evaluate
the agreement and always with respect to the middle classes that have
suffered very much" stated Tsakalotos addressing the deputies on the
joint meeting of the parliament committees that discuss the draft law
with the prior actions of the agreement with Greece's creditors.
