Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos in Parliament debate on Thursday warned against another temporary loan to meet immediate debt repayments, calling on lawmakers to approve a new, three-year bailout deal.

“I think whatever everyone’s stance on the euro and on whether this is a good or bad accord, there must be no one who is working toward a bridge loan,” he said.

Athens must make a 3.2-billion-euro payment to the European Central Bank on Aug. 20.
