Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, in a meeting on Friday to brief President Prokopios Pavlopoulos on the results of the June 21 Eurogroup, said it was an agreement that reflects the moral obligation of Greece’s partners in response to the sacrifices made by the Greek people.

“June 21, 2018 will go down in history as a very important day for the country. It represents a new page for the country. This does not mean that we should abandon the prudent path of fiscally balanced budgets and structural reforms that the country needs, but it means that we are leaving behind the thorny path of memoranda, the imposition of extreme austerity and the suspension of a significant portion of the economic sovereignty of governments that we experienced in the previous years,” stated Tsipras.

The agreement on the debt is far better than the markets’ anticipated, Tsipras added, noting that it will help prevent fragmentation of the eurozone’s and to further the vision of European integration.
On his part, Pavlopoulos noted that many of the sacrifices required of the Greeks “were not entirely caused by our mistakes,” adding that “some very important sacrifices were the result of mistakes made due to the content of the programmes,” precisely because these had been designed by others, not by Greeks. “This is now proven,” he added.
