The increasingly cash-strapped leftist Greek government on Tuesday conveyed its position for a comprehensive agreement with partners-cum creditors instead of a deal in installments.

The position was announced via the “non paper” avenue often preferred by the Tsipras government since it took office in late January 2015.

“The government wants a comprehensive agreement, something repeatedly stressed by PM Alexis Tsipras … The prime minister stressed that with the agreement he doesn’t want a mere short-term financing breather, but to deal with the medium and long-term financing problem of the Greek state, until we re-enter the markets with safety,” was the quote found in the latest non paper.

The SYRIZA government also said it was not negotiating a deal in “two or three phases” in order to achieve the partial payment of a tranche of 7.2 billion euros left over from the second bailout package. Instead, it said it wants the cash-loans to end austerity and restore liquidity in the country.
