Tsipras: : "I would deny Ms Merkel the pleasure of refusing to meet me"

It's all "same old same old"

Newsroom December 1 11:45

During his rare interviews the leader of SYRIZA stated that “It’s us who have to deal with the Troika and its tough stands and not the government”.

Some of the interviews highlights include the one that Mr. Alexis Tsipras even doubted negotiations by saying  that: “I wonder if there actually is an ongoing negotiation”, since if there was there would have been red lines and added that ” It’s all same old same old”.
