Martin Schulz: ‘Tsipras Is Playing Political Games Delaying the Negotiations Process’
After his recent defamatory statement “Greeks get on my nerves,” European Parliament President Martin Schulz unleashed again a new verbal assault this time toward Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accusing him of “delaying” the negotiations process “playing” his own political games. According to Deutsche Welle broadcasting, Martin Schultz made new comments about Greece during an interview he gave to the German newspaper Passauer Neue Presse. Commenting on the fact that the Greek PM firmly rejected the proposal put on the table by the Institutions, the President of the European Parliament said that Mr. Tsipras “is playing political games delaying the procedures” regarding a potential Greek solution. At the same time, the number of people coming from major German political parties not hesitating to publicly express their opposition regarding further assistance to Greece constantly arises. In an extensive article in the German magazine Der Spiegel, the last voting in Germany concerning the prolongation of the second bailout package for Greece last February has been recalled, reminding that 118 of the total 311 members of the parliamentary group, declared that they will not vote for a third aid package for Greece.

Hollande, Merkel, Tsipras in new Greek debt crisis talks
Paris (AFP) - German Chancellor Angela Merkel, French President Francois Hollande and Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras spoke by phone Saturday to discuss Greece's debt crisis as time runs out to reach a deal, a French diplomatic source said."They took stock of the situation to help move forward the negotiations between Greece and the three (creditor) institutions," the source said.The three-way talks came on the eve of a G7 summit in Germany that looks set to be overshadowed by the Greek drama, even though Tsipras himself is not attending the high-level gathering.With no deal on the table yet and billions of euros in loan repayments due at the end of the month, fears are rising of a possible Greek debt default that could see the country crashing out of the eurozone.Tsipras on Friday urged the country's international creditors -- the International Monetary Fund, the European Union and the European Central Bank -- to withdraw "absurd" demands for further austerity cuts in return for unlocking the final 7.2 billion euros ($8 billion) in bailout funds.Athens also ramped up pressure in the make-or-break negotiations after postponing a key loan repayment to the IMF due Friday, opting instead to bundle four IMF loan payments into a single one due by the end of June.Join the conversation about this story »

Sympathy and solidarity for migrants on Kos beaches as two worlds collide
Tourists show concern for fleeing victims of war, and while Greeks say migrants cause few problems they fear trafficking is hurting an already fragile economyTourists must get up early to catch a glimpse of the morning procession that is now part of the daily summer routine on the Greek island of Kos.At around 7am, the day’s arrivals are walked from the small industrial port where their boats have been brought in by police launch and around the corner into the picturesque harbour of Kos Town, past the shuttered shops and cafes and on a 20-minute walk to the very outskirts of town.
