The Greek government negatively comments the reactions of the German government after the recent attempt by the former to reach a deal.

Maximos Mansion even points out people, working against them, within the country itself, stating that said people who once partook in the virtual strangling of the country and its people are playing a very dangerous political game.

The comment on Mr. Schaeuble’s reactions as well as the outcome of negotiations in Brussels was presented in a “non paper” by the government:

1. The Greek government tabled a proposal to the Eurogroup asking for a six month extension of the loan agreement.

2. At the time that the EuroWorking Group is in session, some people within the country are trying to negatively predispose outcomes, at a time when top officials from France, Italy and others, mention that the proposal is treated “positively”.

3. The government presents statements by EU leaders and parties:
-”Italy supports the Greek proposal”, stated Pier Carlo Padoen in L’Espresso newspaper.

-Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem makes no comments on the German reaction and points at EU member-states for a proposal decision.
-EC president Jean-Claude Juncker states that the proposal is a positive first step.
-Germany’s Minister of Economics Sigmar Gabriel states that “we must not shut down talks with the Greeks”.
-Germany’s “Green” party reacted, stating that Schaeuble’s reaction was vulgar
-Die Linke states that the German government wants to humiliate and brings Greece’s leftist government to its knees.

4. The German government has already begun negotiating, and is trying to predetermine Eurogroup decisions, putting pressure on partners. The Greek government responds by stating that it will not surrender to ultimatums, nor issue them.

5. The Greek government takes all necessary steps to reach a mutually beneficial agreement with European partners
