ANA-MPA/A Cabinet meeting will be held on Monday after the completion
of a teleconference by government Vice President and Finance Minister
Evangelos Venizelos with representatives of the EC-ECB-IMF "troika",

"If we want to avoid bankruptcy and for the country to stop being
blackmailed and humiliated, we must undertake crucial decisions," he
said on Sunday, after briefing Cabinet members over developments at the
informal Eurogroup meeting on Sunday in Poland.
"We must meet fiscal targets and achieve a primary surplus in order to
proceed immediately with all reforms," he said, adding that a "fluid
situation prevails in Europe and internationally, which creates multiple
problems and allows profiteers to wage attacks against the heart of
the euro."
He also said that during the tense situation it is crucial for Greece
not to become the scapegoat. ana-mpa
Venizelos began his televised comments with an attack against main
opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras, saying that he
was negatively surprised with what Samaras said in Thessaloniki during
