The initial meeting between the leadership of the finance ministry and the troika took place in a friendly climate.

The government is trapped in a policy of austerity and destruction dictated by the memorandum, SYRIZA said on Monday, adding that whatever leaks to the press about "so-called negotiations" with the troika of lenders cannot reverse the subordination of Greece to its lenders and the memorandum's commitments.

The European Parliament's initiative to enforce oversight over the troika, fist in the finance committee and then the plenum to offer explanations on the Greek program, was relayed by parliament president Martin Schulz to government vice president Evangelos Venizelos.
