French President, Emmanuel Macron has tweeted his praise to Greece as the country completed its difficult eight-year bailout program.
President Macron tweeted: “The end today of the financial assistance program marks for the people of Greece the end of a crisis they faced with a courage and dignity that commands respect.
“France will continue to stand by Greece’s side for us to build, together with our partners, the future of the European Union.”
The bailout plan that saved the banks and Greek state, has caused many hardships for the citizens of the country who have been living with constant cuts to pensions, a lowered minimal wage, and austerities.
However, international leaders have been overwhelmingly positive in their messages and support of Greece for completing the bailout program.
