[01] Schulz urges for a swift completion of Greece's program review
PARIS (ANA-MPA/O. Tsipira) – Greece and the institutions must stick
to the agreement reached last July and the country's program review
must conclude as soon as possible, the head of the European Parliament
Martin Schulz said on Thursday, after a meeting with Prime Minister
Alexis Tsipras in Strasbourg.
In a readout issued after the meeting, Schulz said the two sides discussed
the ongoing negotiations for the conclusion of the review. "The President
and the Prime Minister agreed that the institutions and then Greek
government must stick to the agreement reached last July. Greece and
the institutions are invited to do their utmost to conclude the review
as soon as possible," he said.
[02] ND leader's views fully coincide with those of the IMF, says
government spox
The leader of New Democracy, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, chose to send a
message from the United States that his views coincide with those of
the International Monetary Fund (IMF), government spokeswoman Olga
Gerovasili said on Thursday.
"That is [they coincide] with a failed austerity recipe: the destruction
of the welfare state, the wage/pension cuts, the abolition of labour
rights," Gerovasili said in an interview with radio station "Alpha 9.89".
Her comments follow an interview of Mitsotakis to the Washington Post
published yesterday.
