The bitter rhetoric directed toward Greece during Tuesday’s European summit shows that a currency that was supposed to bring the EU together is splitting it apart.
In an unbelievable twist, Greek PM Alexis Tsipras has decided at the last moment to ask Greek voters to decide on the Troika’s offer. A shrewd move, potentially—if Tsipras wants to keep Greece in the eurozone.
As the latest talks between Greece and its creditors broke down in just 45 minutes, one European official is quoted to have said, “On July 1st, [Greece] will become a disaster zone.”
The Eurogroup is presenting what amounts to a final ultimatum—so they say. Can-kicking on Greece has become a eurocrat pasttime, but the country is running out of options.
