Francois Hollande thwarting efforts to ensure the maintenance of Athens in the eurozone, Merkel and her allies demanded Sunday evening acts Alexis Tsipras before discussing a third European aid plan.
If there was to be only one point of agreement among all the participants of this new intense weekend Brussels negotiations on the fate of Greece is that the exchanges have been "extremely hard, if not extremely violent "according to a participant in the closed ministerial session on Saturday. The Heads of State and Government of the nineteen member countries of the euro area continued their discussions late Sunday night after taking over from their finance ministers. They had played a marathon Eurogroup of fourteen hours, suspended by night. Almost six months after the election victory of the leader of the radical left Syriza Greek, Alexis Tsipras, the confrontation between Athens and its creditors should reach an epilogue. The challenge was to save Greece from imminent bankruptcy or let out of the euro zone - the famous Grexit - and dive into the unknown.
Francois Hollande warned on arrival in Brussels: "At stake is not only Greece, the issue is Europe." "France will do everything to reach an agreement tonight," s 'committed the head of state. In front, Angela Merkel issued a different story: "There will be tough discussions, and there will be no agreement at all costs."
The sequence had however begun auspiciously. After the adoption of the latest proposals of Greek reforms by Parliament in Athens, Friday, the institutions (the European Union, the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund) had welcomed them so "positive". Logically, since these reforms to clean up the Greek budget (VAT hike, retirement elongation, establishing an independent fiscal authority, among others) resumed largely European applications of 25 June, austere prescription specifically rejected by 61 3% of Greek voters on 5 July.
But on Saturday, the Eurogroup has turned to "confrontation", to quote the term Martin Schulz, President of the European Parliament, invited to the summit. On the front line on the forehead hard, Germany and Finland. Berlin considered insufficient the Athens measures, arguing in particular that the economic situation of Greece has "significantly deteriorated for several months."As for the Finnish Government, he opposed a new financial aid plan, which would not pass the dam parliament. In fact, "some of the Ministers clearly had in mind the idea that the best solution was an exit from the euro," says a participant of this confrontation. Mario Draghi has, the source said, not like the institutions opinions being walked.
"Very bad" plane, say Greeks
Led by the new Minister of Finance, the very civilized Tsakalotos Euclid, the Greek delegation to the Eurogroup has worked hard to give serious pledges. It was to restore confidence and credibility, damaged durably between partners. Greece has pledged to pass laws in record time - before 15 July! - Imposed by creditors, on key reforms (VAT, retirement, tax collection).
The Eurogroup finally produced a text that the heads of state were to decide the final points of divergence. A measure of the offers on the table, is now considered necessary by Germany. This is a fund that would manage Greek assets to be privatized. The draft agreement mentions 50 billion euros. A very exaggerated figure by Martin Schulz, saw the value of goods likely to be privatized.These assets were impounded by creditors to bail out the debt. A humiliating prospect for the government Tsipras, who was elected on a promise to escape the supervision of the Troika. Around 22 am Sunday, a Greek delegate described as "very bad" actions of the Eurogroup. Heads of state were trying to find a compromise, including on the sensitive issue of the fund.
In exchange for these tangible pledges, the Heads of State hoped to give a mandate to the Commission and the Eurogroup before negotiations open on a third aid package. This strong political signal would allow the ECB to increase its financial infusion to Greek banks on Monday.Greece battled so as to refer a debt restructuring in the final document.
The negotiation of the new aid plan, the amount totaled by the Eurogroup between 74 and 86 billion euros (partly to bail out banks), could last until late July, says a source close to the negotiations . Several parliaments, including those of Germany and Finland, will give the green light to the negotiations. Too long a delay, said a Greek source, given the critical situation of the banks and the Treasury. 'Bridge' was in the financial study to allow Greece to escape default vis-à-vis the ECB payment on 20 July.
Late Sunday evening, the possibility of failure was still not ruled out. The Eurogroup document explicitly for the "wrong end", ie Grexit.

The France must obey the Germans, is c.
Merkel is right, GREECE due out of Europe and give a lesson to other European countries that are struggling.
The GREEK we have all taken to silly, they entered Europe by lying and that it continued.
Once they have taken all they have to take them they come out of the same.HOLLAND plays that re-election now, bowing his head before the Greek he waived his future principal.When I read the pro GREEK we must not forget that GERMAN covers much more than we aid for Greece ...
So it has more weight than us.GREECE must out of europe must be stopped giving them money. ALL the rest of Europe will spend 20 years to repay them. There will be more development.the hands should be cut before ca gangrene arm
Biensur it is important to support Greece in Europe. The public discourse of head of state is to reassure the people who do not particularly understand the situation. Tjs is the case when one is properly concerned, it includes widely - as easily when it's something that we distance.
And now the Greeks are directly concerned.
We can make clear to them. An output of Europe = a net loss of the economy, a massive dégringolage exports (osef contracts, is the fact that help is great which makes it reliable, and thus making sales external). That Europe is not just a group of countries, is a group of conviction. Conviction that several heads are better than, many hands are better than two. And that the Greeks did not understand is that they too FONT party of Europe. And therefore contribute THEMSELVES ts day this cool thing what international communication.
Their withdrawal would withdraw all them that. This is why the current head of the Greeks speaks of withdrawal when he wants to make sure to stay in Europe. He does it to preserve Greece. It is a good guy, he takes risks in fact for its inhabitants. Suffice that its inhabitants have some degree as it currently crushes for the good of their country so that they regain confidence in themselves and act for themselves instead of believing they are worth nothing and suddenly they do anything for themselves.
Germany wants a German Europe, and put others in line.
I'm amazed (part of) the French right glorify, by pure ideology.
Where is the patriotism right? Worrying. Fortunately they no longer occupy the country.
Hollande wants to keep Greece in the EU and in the euro area to be an ultra-leftist ally among the most reasonable and non-socialist states.- it is high time to stop this deadly with Europe!
It is true that Holland is a pro .. increases Rise in unemployment, rising deficit of France, rising unpopularity, nothing stops for stopping our country ....
Europe is digging his grave! the euro anyway ... The Grexit is the end of that currency and the start of the contagion "Syriza-like" in Europe!
Merkel thank you (and to a lesser extent Sarkozy) have converted the credit claims as public debts in May 2012 ... putting in the pipe taxpayers who were not involved and did not ask so much!
He had to help banks avoid excessive losses will tell those! and why the way?On 13/07/2015 at 2:41- Merkel lucidity against the irresponsibility of Holland?
******** Ideally Europe must get rid of Germany *******IMPOSSIBLE is to Germany alone to decide whether it wants to come out legally or not ..... the EU partners can not decide alone to get her out .... just like Greece also .... it is not enough to push her towards the exit, if she refuses to leave her European partners are faced with another dilemma !!!!!I would Tsipras this is what I would do .... I would refuse to go out since the referendum gives him legitimacy ..... which case creditors would OBLIGED to pay, happy or not happy, with or without warranty !!!!
