Greece’s Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis says the country will not manage their repayments to the IMF in June.
Greece would pay 1.6 billion euros to the IMF in June, but Voutsis said in a television interview that Greece will not pay, and it is a known fact that the country does not have the money to pay with.
The Minister still hope of a negotiated solution between Greece and its lenders IMF, EU and European Central Bank.
The lenders and Greece have negotiated for four months but has not been able to agree on the payment of the last låneraten in the second aid package to Greece, an amount of over seven billion euros.
The lenders refuse to pay out the money before the Syrizaledda Government agrees economic reforms. Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said yesterday that negotiations are on the final straight, but that Greece will not accept humiliating conditions.
Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis said to Syriza’s Central Committee today that the government must prepare the people of the possibility that there will not be any agreement that is consistent with the Left SYRIZA election promises of an end to austerity.
Lafazanis said that there must be new åstramningar and privatization and that the government must be prepared for alternative solutions.
– Who says there has to be a disaster if we leave the eurozone and return to national currencies, said Lafazanis belonging to SYRIZA left wing.
