Juncker to Tsipras: Don’t assume eurozone will accept your plans!

European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker warned Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that his promises for humanitarian relief to austerity-crushed Greek people would put Greece on a collision course with its EU partners

Juncker said Tsipras “only partly addressed’ the concerns Brussels has regarding his plans, which were detailed in the form of policy statements from Parliament’s podium the previous evening.
