Was Tsipras in Brüssel will

Während Berlin mal wieder alle Hoffnungen auf einen Griechenland-Deal kleinredet, reist Premier Tsipras nach Brüssel, wo er am Abend Kommissionschef Juncker treffen will. Hier sein Statement vor der Abreise:

On Monday evening, the Greek government formally submitted its proposal to the institutions, for a fair and mutually beneficial compromise, which will put an end to this crisis in Europe. It will allow Greece to escape financial asphyxiation, as well as provide space for recovery; it will put an end to the Grexit scenarios and, finally, it will put an end to the disaster scenarios.

So far, we have not received any comments regarding our proposal, or about any other document, from the institutional partners.

Last night I received an invitation from the President of the European Commission, Mr. Jean-Claude Juncker to go to Brussels to hold talks. In keeping with this positive development, I responded affirmatively. I am going to discuss the proposal of the Greek Government. To explain to him that, today more than ever, it is necessary for the institutions–and especially for the political leadership of Europe–to accede to the realism that the Greek government has been adhering to for the last three months while negotiating the fair requests of the Greek people for the benefit of a united Europe, and indeed, for the people of Europe. We need unity, we must avoid division. I am confident that the political leadership of Europe will do what needs to be done. It will accede to realism.
