Jean-Claude Juncker, the newly-elected president of the European Commission, arrived in Athens today for an “unofficial” meeting and working lunch with Greek Premier Antonis Samaras. Junker held a meeting with Samaras for about an hour. The two men then left for a working lunch together, where they were expected to discuss the possible exit of Greece from the memorandum and the evaluation and implementation of the troika’s reforms. The two men were also expected to make special mention of the financing gap for 2015, as well as the reduction of Greece’s public debt. No official announcements followed the end of their meeting. This is Jean-Claude Juncker’s second visit to Greece in as many months. During his last visit, the EC president discussed the “great battle” he has waged against all those who demand that Greece exit the Eurozone.
