Debt Greece: Moscovici opens, Juncker closes

Contrasting reactions from the Brussels Executive to Syriza's objectives on Greek debt. Pierre Moscovici guaranteed an opening: “We want Greece to be able to repay its debts, the problem is how to get there – the EU commissioner for economic affairs said yesterday after the Eurogroup -. Greece has made remarkable progress, the population has made great sacrifices, there has been European solidarity and the efforts made are starting to bear fruit”.

On the other hand, the president of the European Commission Jean Claude Juncker is tougher, according to which the reduction of the Greek debt "is not on the radar screen" of Brussels, because "there is no urgent need to act", nor "a majority in the 'Eurogroup, especially in the euro area, in favor of debt reduction'.
