German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler said the lower house of parliament in Berlin can call off a special meeting on Feb. 27 to approve more aid for Greece if the Greek government and opposition parties fail to live up to their commitments today.
The meeting that’s scheduled to approve Germany’s contribution to the second aid package for Greece “only makes sense if Greece has shown before, through legal measures and deeds, that it’s worth it,” Roesler said in an interview on ARD public television. “If that doesn’t happen, there won’t need to be a session.”
