Asked why his radical leftist government did not table proposals at Tuesday’s Eurogroup meeting in Brussels, newly appointed Greek FinMin Eucleid Tsakalotos responded, point blank: “It’s more complex than it seems”.

His honest answer comes after Sunday’s “no” in the Greek referendum, when Greek PM Alexis Tsipras promised an agreement with creditors in 48 hours.

In leaving the Commission’s building, Tsakalotos — the successor to Yannnis Varoufakis — estimated that the Eurozone is showing a political volition to give a new opportunity to Greece.
