The short-term measures announced by Eurogroup on Monday will lower Greece’s debt by more than 45 billion euros, while rates were set at 1.5 percent, government sources said on Monday, commenting on the meeting of Eurozone’s finance ministers in Brussels.
“It is a national success,” the same sources said, adding that the decision to set a rate is very important considering that they are expected to rise. “The government rose to the occasion.”
The sources also reiterated that the government remains firm on its stance concerning the “irrational demands” and labor laws.
