Greece’s government is optimistic that a deal with its creditors can be reached within May, government sources said on Tuesday after the end of a cabinet meeting chaired by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. The government has taken actions that prove in practice its desire for an agreement that respects both the obligations and democracy, the sources said. During Tuesday’s meeting, the Greek Prime Minister briefed the cabinet and carried out an assessment of the situation after Monday’s Eurogroup, while, according to the government, the negotiations are now in their most crucial phase. The sources said that the meeting discussed neither the possibility of a referendum nor that of snap elections. (source: ana-mpa)
