[01] "Greece needs debt relief to make it sustainable", says IMF's Thomsen
The president of the European Council Donald Tusk said he was satisfied
with the agreement reached at the Eurogroup.
"Strong message of stability for Greece, Europe and the global economy,"
Tusk said after the Eurogroup early on Wednesday.
The IMF has welcomed the deal with the IMF European chief, Poul Thomsen,
saying, "We welcome that all stakeholders recognise that Greek debt is
unsustainable. We welcome that it is understood that Greece needs debt
relief to make it sustainable."
[02] New Democracy lashes out at government on the Eurogroup outcome
Main opposition New Democracy in a statement on Wednesday harshly
criticised the outcome of the Eurogroup and accused the government of
the delays in the negotiations.
"The government has delayed for seven months the conclusion of the program
review, imposed harsh measures on the Greeks, increased the country's
obligations, such as the privatisation fund, and imposed 'permanently'
the contingency mechanism," it said.
"It conceded everything and took nothing back. Why is that? Because it
is totally incredible," the statement added.
