The ‘blame game’ between Greece and its creditors over who was responsible for the break-down of negotiations continues, as Greek citizens are feeling the harsh reality of capital controls and closed banks. ECB President, Jean-Claude Junker accused the Greek government for suddenly leaving the negotiations just as the 2 sides were about to close the deal, reports Politico Europe site.  Junker made these statements during an address to members of the European People’s Party (EPP). Politico reports that the 2 sides were so close to reaching a deal when, according to Junker Greek Finance Minister, Yianis Varoufakis pulled the plug on talks over a squabble over a difference of 60 mln Euros. Reportedly Junker said that the creditors were to front-load EU funds at the disposal of Greece for the future and the Greek government didn’t take the offer.
