Greece: reactions after the failure of the Eurogroup meeting

"We had to back plenty of times. Now, I think we must be firmer."



"Thriller Atmosphere", "Spring in Athens, fog in Brussels" ... These are some of the Greek press publications on Thursday, following the failure of the Eurogroup meeting last night in Brussels.


The political line followed by the Greek government seems to be quite widely approved by the people, weary from years of austerity.


"It's good to negotiate but we also set limits for negotiation, says George, a resident of Athens. It's like a game: the only thing that matters is the result. "


"We had to back plenty of times. Now I think we should be more firm, acting for the good of the people, "says Niki.


The meeting of the Minister of Finance of the euro zone ended without any breakthrough. No press, no schedule for the coming days, otherwise the meeting scheduled for Monday.


Athens does not want to be under the protection of creditors. And Wednesday night, thousands of people were in the streets to know. It was a protest against austerity and in support to the government.
