Europe needs to begin a dialogue and make bold decisions in order to protect its cohesion and avoid degenerating into little more than a free-trade zone, Greece's Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said on Monday, in an article published by the Greek newspaper "Efimerida ton Syntakton" under the title "Europe of 'multiple speeds' or 'multiple options?"

"Mr. Tsipras succeeded as a liar but failed as a prime minister" main opposition New Democracy (ND) said in an announcement on Monday, commenting on an article by Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras published in Monday's issue of the newspaper "Efimerida ton Syntakton".

SYRIZA’s political secretariat is scheduled to convene on Tuesday at 6.30 pm to discuss the decisions reached on Monday’s Eurogroup meeting regarding the new package of measures Greece will be called on to implement and the strategy to follow after the representatives of the country’s creditors return to the table of negotiations.
