Greece’s 11th hour deal: International creditors vs. internal dissent

Athens secured its agreement with its 18 EU peers late on Friday to extend the Greek bailout, but not everybody is happy about this

Newsroom February 23 10:26

Just a few hours before sending its final message to its EU partners, the Radical Left Coalition scrambled on Sunday to come up with a list of proposed changes that would be acceptable by its international creditors on Monday in order to secure an 11th hour deal. Members within the party were angered that the government had caved in to Brussels’ pressure in order to avoid insolvency.

Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras hailed the (sole) concession made to Athens that would allow it to propose changes to the requirements agreed to with creditors by the previous Greek governments, but these would not be reduced.
