Greece honors its commitments and the agreement and the ball is now on the institutions’ court, government spokeswoman Olga Gerovassili said on Tuesday during a press briefing.

“Our firm position is that the program review must be completed in a short time because neither Greece nor Europe have time to waste,” she said.

“Any differences need to be bridged; the ball is now on the institutions’ court, that need to show a constructive stance,” Mrs. Gerovassili underlined.

Referring to social security reforms, she highlighted that the new proposal of the government supports the low and middle incomers, while there are gradual increases to the high incomes.

She also argued that the government is open to dialogue with the farmers saying that “Our aim is to find the best possible solution,”.

Asked on the scheduled protest rally of farmers who are planning to drive their tractors to Athens, Mrs. Gerovasili implied that the government will not allow tractors entering the center of Athens saying that “there are laws and rules, and I think the road traffic police will take the necessary measures”.
