Greece will not accept “absurd” proposal from Troika

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said in a speech to parliament on Friday that his country cannot accept the “unrealistic” proposals set by its lenders that did not include a promise of debt relief.

Tsipras said that the only offer worth considering and which held the basis of a deal with creditors was the one made by Athens earlier in the week and that other proposals set by Greece’s lenders were “unrealistic” and “absurd.”
