– Berlin expects that Greece respects the savings plans agreed with international creditors, even in case of victory of the radical left in the elections: the said government spokesman, Georg Streiter. On Saturday, the weekly Der Spiegel, however, had spoken of an opening of Chancellor Angela Merkel on the possibility of a Greek exit from the Eurozone.
” Greece has always respected in the past its commitments, “said deputy government spokesman Federal Streiter. This is the first official statement after the weekly Der Spiegel had anticipated, without contradiction that Chancellor Angela Merkel and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble today consider realistic, and not dramatic, a possible Greek exit from the euro in case of victory of Tsipras parliamentary elections on January 25th.
Berlin: never changed my mind about Greece – The German Government then denied to have changed its position about a possible Greek exit from the euro, as precisely the Spiegel wrote. “There is no change of course,” said the agency dpa Streiter.
On advances Spiegel, the same spokesman had previously only said that “Greece in the past had always fulfilled its commitments” and that Berlin is confident that Athens “continues to meet its commitments.”
