Fofi Gennimata is head of the social democrats PASOK: “There is no time for more lies, it is time to take difficult decisions. There is no other way than to understand each other and work together in order to secure Greece’s European future.”

Our correspondent in Athens is Stamatis Giannisis:“In spite of the support he got in parliament by the mainstream opposition parties Alexis Tsipras and his government is still in dire straits. Several MPs of the ruling Syriza party voted against the new deal with the country’s creditors. Faced with the danger of a minority government for the rest of his term many feel that the Greek prime minister will call a snap general in early autumn.”
