Jean-Claude Juncker has accused the Greek government for misleading voters, BBC informs.
"I am blaming the Greeks [for telling] things to the Greek public which are not consistent with what I've told the Greek prime minister," Juncker said.
The accusation came after Tsipras and other Greek ministers declared that the lenders wanted to raise VAT on electricity and on medicine.
In response Juncker noted: "I'm not in favour, and the prime minister knows that, ... of increasing VAT on medicaments and electricity. This would be a major mistake."
