The market in Greece is in absolute stagnation, as each day that passes without an agreement between the government and lenders causes losses worth 22.3 mil. euros from the country's GDP, while every 24 hours 59 businesses shut down and full-time employment decreases by 613 jobs.
The leader of opposition party To Potami said it is willing to vote in favour of an agreement with Greece’s lenders if it’s beneficial for the people, according to an interview exerpt which will be published in Greek newspaper Kathimerini on Sunday.
An increase of 469% has been registered in the first quarter of 2015, compared to the same period last year, in the number of refugees and migrants crossing into the country through the Greek-Turkish sea border.
Greece’s Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had at one stage warned foreign creditors that Athens would not repay 750 million euros due to the IMF in May unless they provided it with immediate liquidity, the Kathimerini newspaper reported.
