Angela Merkel on Tuesday night swore eurozone partners to a long and painful process of structural reform to restore the economic growth the eurozone needed to overcome its debt crisis, reports the Financial Times.
Germany’s chancellor also stressed that reforming Greece outside the eurozone was not an option.
“I will not participate in pushing Greece out of the eurozone,” she said. A eurozone exit was “not an issue”.
Angela Merkel stated after the postponement of the Greek leaders’ austerity meeting: “We don’t want to worsen the life of Greeks. We only wish that Greece will pull through on its own hands”.
According to sources, Merkel said that the Eurogroup Meeting will be completed by Thursday night. Until then troika’s report is scheduled to be completed, too.
