Days before a highly anticipated Merkel-Tsipras meeting, the Chancellory in Berlin reiterated that “all our actions aim on keeping Greece within the eurozone”.

Moreover, Angela Merkel is quoted as saying that “I hold the view that European countries should hold the same undifferentiated stance on the Greek issue”.

The above statement is been taken as an indirect message (see warning) that European partners line up on Germany’s side and insist on implementation of Greece’s prior commitments, regardless whether they’re stuffing out growth.
