Der Spiegel cites ‘hope’ for reaching deal on Greek matter

A 180 degree turn on its previous statements

 

The “Institutions” seem to be confident that an agreement with Athens will be reached, since a list of measures and reforms proposed by the Greek government is “obviously improved”, and quite specific, according to German magazine Der Spiegel.

After the chaos, things could only get better, says the report, which quotes Minister Nikos Voutsis’ statement that the IMF tranche will not be paid on April 9. According to Der Spiegel, the EuroWorking Group reforms list made “hope appear again”.

Belgian FinMin Johan Van Overtfeldt, according to Der Spiegel, stated that if Greece fails to meet its commitments, no one can exclude a Grexit.
