Friday, June 26th, 2015

 

German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her European Union leaders told the finance minister to open talks Greece once again and for all the difficult position diseputar requirements for the country to be adjusted in order to secure aid.

With Greece who wish to survive in the Euro area, the frequency of the negotiations has increased since a breakthrough has proved elusive.

 

Rather than reach an agreement, a summit of EU leaders has declined to discuss details of their meeting and just looked confused and frustrated in this condition. French President Francois Hollande and Merkel both said that this was "crucial" to the finance minister, to regroup on Saturday for the fifth session in a discussion of Greece in the past week, to finally get a deal.
