Talks between Greece and its official creditors in Brussels broke up on Monday after the country’s new government said it could not accept euro-area proposals for it to stick to the terms of its bailout.
The Greek government labeled the eurogroup’s demands a “absurd” and “unacceptable,” in an e-mailed statement shortly before the meeting ended.
