Angela Merkel's visit to Athens through the eyes of two journalists. The first one covered the formal meetings for his media and the other one followed the protests in Syntagma Square.
Finance Minister Yiannis Stournaras stated that the country would most probably receive the money through a political decision. The opposition SYRIZA is adamant that European policies will only worsen the state of the local economy.
The common problem specified by the businessmen was the lack of liquidity in the market and the need for the aid tranche of 31.5 billion euro to be paid as soon as possible.
The final number of detainees on the day of Angela Merkel’s visit reached 217. 24 people were arrested. Greek media report that more than half of the people detained by the police were students.
I hope that Greece will remain in the euro area but the condition is to see in the Troika's report that Greece's commitments have been met, the German Chancellor told journalists in Athens.
