French President Praises Greek PM Tsipras for 'Unblocking Negotiations' in 2015

tsipras-hollande-708_2French President Francois Hollande praises Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras for unblocking bailout negotiations in 2015, in a chapter of a new book about him.
The book “Private Discussions with the President” appeared in French bookstores on Wednesday. It is written by Antonin Andre and Karim Rissouli, and it includes discussions the two writers had with the President of France from February 17, 2012 until May 24, 2016.
Two chapters of the book refer to the agonizing negotiations for Greece in July 2015. Specifically, chapter 20, entitled “The Friend Tsipras” is dedicated to the negotiations in Brussels.
In chapter 21, entitled “Help Me to Help You,” the French President said: “At around 6 am, discussions were completely blocked. Here I thought it would end badly because Tsipras was at his limits and said that he could not go any further. This was resolved through a meeting we held with (Donald) Tusk, (Angela) Merkel and Tsipras.”
“Tsipras left to speak with his team and returned with a proposal for the (Privatization) Fund, which finally allowed the agreement to happen. He is he the one who unblocked the situation. With our support, but he did it.”
