Addressing lawmakers in the Greek Parliament on Friday night, Greece’s Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said the government was seeking Parliament’s authorization in order to further strengthen the country’s negotiating position, “in the spirit of the political party leaders’ agreement.” “Even though we were not obliged to do this, after the 61% in the referendum, since we had a stronger position, we want to do it in order to make it even stronger,” he said during a meeting of four parliamentary committees. Tsakalotos appeared optimistic about the overall impact of capital controls, noting that “over the entire range, it is not the same case as in Cyprus and the good side of this is that the damage done can quickly be corrected.” He also promised that the final text of the loan agreements will be submitted to Parliament “normally.” (source: ana-mpa)
