Greek Finance Minister Euclid Tsakalotos said that Germany’s opposition to debt relief is at odds with its demands that the International Monetary Fund join the bailout program.
Speaking in an interview on Friday with Bloomberg Television, Tsakalotos said he conveyed this message to his German counterpart Wolfgang Schaeuble earlier in the day. The two are participating in annual meetings of the IMF and World Bank in Washington.
