Athens: A Greek government spokesman denied a German newspaper report on Tuesday which said that it was considering opting out of receiving more bailout money if lenders could not agree on debt relief.
“It is not true,” government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos told Reuters. “There will be a solution on June 15.”
Greece is hoping a June 15 meeting of Eurozone finance ministers will offer clarity and a solution to its long-standing call for debt relief after three international bailouts. The country has €7.5 billion (Dh30.77 billion) of debt maturing in July, a sum it will not be able to repay unless it gets a new tranche of creditors’ money out of a bailout worth up to €86 billion.
