[01] PM Tsipras: Greek program review must conclude by April 22
For the first time after six years there's complete agreement between
the Greek government and the institutions on when the country's program
review will conclude, which will be by April 22, Prime Minister Alexis
Tsipras said on Monday speaking to Syriza's parliamentary group.
Commenting on the letter sent to the government by IMF head Christine
Lagarde following the leak of a telephone conversation between senior
IMF officials by Wikileaks on Saturday, Tsipras said that he agreed that
a tactic to delay negotiations between Greece and the institutions to
pressure the country to back down is 'nonsense'.
"I completely agree with this view and I'm glad that at least this common
ground between the Greek government and Mrs. Lagarde is recognized,"
he said.
"At the same time, I wonder whether the others agree with this view,
and I hope that in the next few days we will not see an intention to
handle the negotiations between Greece and the institutions in a foolish
way. Because it will not be the first time. Besides, since 2010, a lot
of foolish things have happened," he added.
