Greeks accused Germany of trying to humiliate them by making tougher demands for a new bailout deal, as the country’s fate in the euro zone hung in the balance ahead of a meeting of European ministers in Brussels on Sunday.
Elected on a promise to rid Greece of austerity, Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was forced this week to make last minute concessions to the international creditors for painful austerity measures in the hopes of securing a cash-for-reforms deal.
But the damage done by months of fractious talks and Tsipras’s decision to hold a snap referendum on the bailout terms on July 5 means securing a deal will be tough.
Lawmakers including in Germany, Greece’s biggest creditor, are skeptical over whether Athens will carry out reforms that the Greek people overwhelmingly rejected in the referendum.
