A senior German lawmaker in Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservative party told Reuters on Saturday that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has "pulled the plug" himself with his call for a referendum and thus made it impossible for parliament to vote on any further Greek aid by the end of June.

"With his announcement, Tsipras has pulled the plug himself," Krichbaum told Reuters.
