Merkel underlines desire to keep Greece in euro
German Chancellor Angela Merkel is underlining her desire to keep
Greece in the eurozone but isn’t offering Athens any new concessions,
insisting that it must carry through the reforms it has pledged.
Merkel
on Monday dodged questions as to whether Greece might be given more
time to implement unpopular cost-cutting plans and structural reforms,
pointing to a report from Greece’s international debt inspectors that is
expected next month as the basis for decisions.
Merkel says
Germany is ready to help Greece and wants it to succeed, but says it’s
important that ‘‘these reforms, some of them difficult, be carried
through.’’
She says it isn’t helpful to resist measures that need carrying out anyway. [AP] |
