MILAN – 15:30. The absence of a clear plan, the plethora of reform proposals: on the negotiating table between Athens and Brussels Group (the former Troika of EU, ECB and IMF) are over two programs opposed to breaking the deadlock in which it’s over Greece. On the one hand, the Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has forwarded the proposals of the government of Syriza to unlock aid; a handbook still considered too broad by international creditors. On the other hand, it expects the counter-ultimatum which could be the last chance for Athens to unlock the 7.2 billion euro of aid. Creditors would be likely to accept the idea that the budget surplus this year is below 1%, launching a first sign of possible compromise as Athens requested 0.8%. Later in the day are numerous meetings, both at political and technical level (Tsipras will meet tonight in Brussels, Jean Claude Juncker, European Commission President), but just from Brussels state that “the solution is not provided in the evening.” For the Italian Pier Carlo Padoan, however, “the agreement is at hand” and for the ECB governor, Mario Draghi, “to be strong”.
The leading greek must play not only on the international front, but also on the internal: the idea that any agreement will be submitted to a referendum is losing share, but the frond extreme party – one that does not want in any way to yield to the dictates of Berlin or hawks EU – is already on a war footing and talk about possible elections.
