“The IMF sets red lines everywhere as far as reforms go, specifically on pensions and employment issues”, according to the latest non paper leaked by the leftist government on Tuesday.

 

As far as the unofficial “briefing” is concerned, sources said that “… on the contrary, the EC has things it will not budge on concerning the primary surplus and thus no debt haircut, but it allows leeway on pension and employment issues reforms”.

The government blames lenders on the lack of progress shown during negotiations, clarifying that “with things as they stand right now, there can be no settlement”, and warns that hurdles and high risks are created out of nowhere, without clarifying what said risks are.

The SYRIZA government underlined that it will not present Parliament with a multi-bill before there is progress in ongoing negotiations.

The non paper signifies a dramatic change on the clime of negotiations during the eleventh hour. Even though hours earlier government officials stated that they are drafting the bill with measures, for Parliament, now they state that the IMF and the EC are setting “red lines” everywhere.
