Europe needs to be more forgiving to Greeks – Ni Riada

Eurozone finance ministers will make
another attempt this evening to broker an agreement on Greece. Hopes are fading
that a solution will be found quickly with some reports from Brussels saying
the Greek government hasn’t presented anything new to their EU counterparts.
However, the Sinn Fein MEP Liadh Ni Riada says last weekend’s referendum result
needs to be recognised by the EU and that they need to be more forgiving towards
Greece.

Demanding pension cuts from Greeks ‘incredulous’ – Ni Riada

Eurozone finance ministers have been
arriving in Brussels for emergency talks on the Greek crisis. Reports from
Brussels suggest the Greek government has not presented any new detailed proposals
in paper ahead of tonight’s summit. Earlier today the European Commission
chief, Jean-Claude Juncker said he didn’t want Greece to exit the Eurozone.
However, the Sinn Fein MEP Liadh Ni Riada says the EU Institutions are
demanding too much from the Greeks.
