- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The Greeks are not wealthier than the Germans, Prime Minister Antonis Samaras told German newspaper Bild, referring to recent reports based on an European Central Bank (ECB) survey that Greeks are on average wealthier than the Germans.
The prime minister also said there is no need for a third bailout. "We do not need help, we do not need a third package," Samaras stressed.
Regarding the ECB survey, Samaras said that is does not reflect the actual living conditions of Greeks.
As for the progress of reforms, Samaras noted: "Only in 2013 we implemented most of the structural reforms, which correspond to 76 percent of the target."
