Germany said "NO" on Monday to the demand of Greek government about repaying World War Two reparations to Athens. There was "zero" chance for it according to the German stance, hellenicshippingnews.com reports.
The newly elected Prime Minister Tsipras with the coalition laid out plans to dismantle Greece’s austerity program. Tsipras rejected any extension of 240 billion euro international bailout and sought war reparation from Berlin. After pushing hard their European partners, Greek government at least received a response from the German side. German Chancellor Angela Merkel showed little willingness to compromise with Greece over the conditions that are attached to the bailout.
French Finance Minister Michel Spin also demonstrated his motivation to help Greece to find compromises with German to soften its stance in the standoff between Greece and its creditors over the debt. Michel Fuchsthe, a German politician however, has just the opposite view. He said that "there is no way out" for Greece from its bailout obligations, in this way showing his full disagreement with the Greek government, bloomberg.com reports.
