“The deadlock in negotiations between the Greek government and its creditors has increased the probability substantially that Greece is unable is to be debt to do in the coming months including through the bonds held by the private sector “

The move by Fitch comes a day after S & amp;.. P rating to Adjusted down to CCC. That is two steps above the level of “inevitable failure”.

Main Indicator Dow Jones stands shortly before closing nearly a quarter percent in positive territory, while the broader composite S & amp; P stands at 0.4 percent gain. Monday dropped the S & amp; P still the strongest since April 2014 and vaporized the entire profit in 2015, reports Reuters

The AEX index in Amsterdam closed one percent lower, while the stock exchanges in Frankfurt, London and Paris each between 1.3 and 1.6 percent went down.



Dijsselbloem: new reform program will lead to stricter requirements

Dijsselbloem also has a less nice message for the Greek government. A new aid package may be associated with even harsher demands for reform, says the chairman of the Eurogroup tonight. And while the reforms to the Greek Prime Minister Tsipras had been unmentionable.

In today sent a proposal he otherwise did not say a word about reforms. Tsipras spoke primarily about new funding and restructuring of debt.



Dijsselbloem: first referendum, then new aid package

Moreover, the meeting of Finance Ministers are not averse to a third aid package, says minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem (Finance, Labour) after the Eurogroup told Reuters. But there on such a package is negotiated, the euro countries will first await the outcome of Sunday’s referendum.

For the temporary continuation of the current aid package – something the Greeks suggested in the last letter – it’s too late now, says Dijsselbloem. Greece comes tomorrow with a new letter, which negotiate the ministers of the euro countries tomorrow. A new day, a new meeting so.



Eurogroup last – no money Greeks

The special press eurogroup tonight is over, reports the Finnish Finance Minister Alexander Stubb just on Twitter. Greece needs today no longer count on extra support for debt payments to meet the IMF. The Greek proposal focuses namely to the closing of a new support program and such a request “always handled through the normal procedures,” said Stubb.




Obama: No impact on Greece USA

If the crisis in Greece out of hand this has no serious consequences for the US financial system, as does President Obama. He said there tonight during a press conference the next over, reports Reuters:

Sharper advice for Greece

Dutch tourists and other travelers who are in Greece should avoid demonstrations in central Athens on tour. Writes the Ministry of Foreign Affairs this evening in a tightened advice. These demonstrations will take place in the run-up to the referendum on the financial rescue plan. Earlier, the ministry warned that tourists should bring enough cash for the trip, because it may no longer be possible to withdraw or use credit cards. (Reuters)




New demonstrations in Athens

While the finance ministers of the euro countries evening talk by phone, in Athens in favor of a deal with Brussels began a new demonstration. If they – also called the camp ‘yes’ – on Sunday in the referendum are in the majority, that means quite likely the end of the government of Prime Tsipras

Rutte: I’m waiting for new Proposals Greeks

Prime Minister Mark Rutte awaits new proposals from Greece. If that is “in line” with the proposals which the institutions (EU, IMF and ECB) in recent days have done to Athens, “we will continue talks,” said Rutte just in parliament. Sunday’s referendum in Greece Rutte called an “internal matter for Greece”, although he stated that the organization of the referendum actually meant that the negotiations were broken off between Europe and Greece.

Rutte stressed that it still “not the goal, nor our desire” is that Greece will leave the eurozone. Well Rutte stated that the Netherlands’ monetary and economically prepared “for a Grexit.



‘Greeks ask for 29 billion euros

In today’s proposal asking the Greek government to the euro countries to jump in long two years. That money comes from the bailout fund ESM will be used only to pay off creditors, swears Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras. But how much it actually?

The answer is 29.1 billion euros, according to a letter in the hands of the British newspaper Financial Times. This year the Greeks need 12.3 billion euros and for 2016 and 2017 respectively 7.2 and 9.6 billion euros.



” Greeks have today anyway no money

Despite the new Greek proposal is excluded that the euro countries tonight be earmarked to Southern European country. It claimed a Brussels official has just told Reuters. The meeting of the eurozone starts just half an hour and by telephone dismissed.

If the official is right, then the Greeks can tonight the International Monetary Fund does not pay. Athens has yet to 1.6 billion euros today to the account of the IMF. In the final proposal, which a few hours ago was sent suddenly asked Tsipras euro countries just to let the emergency aid will equally continue until a deal was about a third support package.

VVD wants Greeks do not just help again

A new proposal to help Greece, not just get the green light from the VVD. Financial spokesman Mark Harbers just said in the House that he thinks a Greek exit from the euro is “a very likely scenario.” Chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem of the Eurogroup tonight consults with other euro area countries on a request from Greece for a new aid package. “I’m not going to join in as soon as we have yet to extend something tonight,” warned the VVD.



Capital controls: no more Spotify

What the Greeks feel exactly that yesterday imposed capital controls? For starters, they can not exceed sixty euro pegs, but also the transfer of funds to international companies is difficult. So buy something on Ebay or abonnementje Spotify is no longer there. And will soon be mercilessly reduced the storage capacity at Apple iCloud at the Bloomberg Greek office.



‘Creditors no positive proposal

question who plays the next few hours is: what is the eurozone’s latest Greek proposal. Is this a reason for cautious optimism? Journalist Peter Spiegel of the Financial Times was thinking of, but with a round of questions along the countries who will have to decide yet he mostly gets negative reactions.

A first reader question

The first reader question comes from F. van der Schaaf, who wants to know how the Greek government will soon thinks to spend money ( for example, pensions) if they no longer receive aid funds from the troika. Our correspondent on the spot, Marloes de Koning, replied that Greece has enough money to cover his expenses. It is the debt principal and interest payments bring the country into trouble, she explains:

“Greece (last year until now) a so-called primary budget surplus. That means there are more coming in tax money than is spent. If the debt repayment and interest payments are not included they would therefore have enough money to save themselves. “

If Greece later just refuses to pay its debts, so it may still spending do, says King.



Also parliament talks about Greece

The parliament has just begun a debate with Prime Minister Rutte about the European summit last week. Greece and the euro is expected to be the main subject of the debate. Watch via NPO policy.



Merkel: first referendum, then third support package

The finance ministers tonight may then engage in conversation with each other, but German Chancellor Angela Merkel refuses to have such a conversation temporarily. Merkel would only consider a third aid package if the Greek people has voted Sunday in the referendum, reports news agency DPA.



Eurogroup speaks tonight proposal

It was rumored earlier today, but Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem (Finance, Labour) is now also confirms, the euro group meets tonight reconvened for an emergency consultation. The conference of the finance ministers of the euro countries starts at 19:00 and goes over the latest Greek proposal.



Nothing reforms

In the proposal, which is owned by Politico, is moreover not talk about reform. Tsipras says only that he wants the public debt is sustainable and feasible. At the end of two years, Greece would then have access to capital markets, writes the Greek prime minister.



“Greece continues to negotiate

The latest proposal Tsipras asked the eurozone a loan of two years, referred purely to pay the creditors. That money would have to come from the ESM, a permanent money pot which Europe can rescue ailing countries. Tsipras also wants the Greek debt is restructured. Greece remains at the negotiating table and will remain until the last moment to talk about a debt deal, reports the Office of the Greek Prime Minister.




No extension but a new program

The discussions of the Greek government with its creditors spent the past few days, an extension of the second support program. But could the reforms in exchange for the country by feel in exchange for that support Tsipras and the euro countries can not agree. It now seems that the Greeks throwing a different tack:. A new program with new demands



Greece makes new proposal

The Greek government has sent a new proposal to Brussels. The country proposes to set up a new support program that lasts two years, reports Reuters earlier.



Dijsselbloem has acute urgent requirement

Dijsselbloem has his weekly conversation RTLZ canceled. His spokesman tells Reuters news agency that this has to do with an “acute emergency duty.”



Grexit

A German entrepreneur has the patent on the brand name “Grexit” for vodka and energy drink. On the bottle cheerful cheers income Tsipras and Varoufakis, under an unhappy-looking Merkel.



Crowdfunding for Greece

Is the Future of Europe held by Tsipras, Juncker and other key players in the Greek crisis? No, a European does not think so. He is a crowd funding campaign was launched for Greece.

“The Greeks need 1.6 billion. That seems a lot, but it’s just three euros per European. That’s about half a pint in London. “

If you give three euros, Tsipras sends you made a card in Greece, so have local print business and post offices work. When you give six euro you get a salad with feta and olives. With ten euros you get a small bottle of ouzo and at 25 euros a bottle of Greek wine. If you go with the whole 1.6 billion comes up, you would first get a Greek island but that was canceled because the promoter (a Brit) showed that not simply be allowed to do in Greece.

So far, 96 269 euro picked up by 6319 people in one day. That equates at zero percent .



Still …

The rumor mill running through. Thus, the Greek Kathimerini news reports that negotiators busy on the phone to get around an agreement that would amount to withdrawal of the referendum and the proposal by Juncker last night (so still a proposal by Juncker?). The euro group would have an emergency meeting tonight, even before the official end of the tool. The head of the Greek Central Bank would already be on the way to the ECB in Frankfurt.

(usually well-established) Politico reported on the authority of Greek government officials to Tsipras today would have spoken with Juncker, Mario Draghi of the ECB and Martin Schultz – President of the European Parliament.



Merkel: no signs of a breakthrough

Merkel responds to the rumors of the last few hours that Greece would still like to talk about the proposal of Europe.

The door is open for negotiations, but there are no indications of a breakthrough .

“The last proposal that I know is on Friday,” Merkel said in addition. That would mean that Juncker has made a new proposal to Tsipras to defuse the Greek debt crisis.



Greeks hope for flexibility from lenders

The main negotiator of the Greeks is hoping that the lenders position themselves in the coming days flexible, he said in a statement. Which he suggests that Greece still wants to reach a last-minute agreement to avoid a Grexit.



“What does the Greek government of the proposed flexibility of the institutions? A fantastic idea. We look forward to more flexibility in the coming days. “

Greek referendum: European leaders want a yes vote for EU – Reformed Daily

For Europe, the Greek referendum Sunday at the question yes or no to the European Union and the euro. And the Greeks would have to vote in favor. A ‘no’ a departure from the eurozone seems inevitable. At the same time the call came to go back to the negotiating table now the end of the support package for Greece is anxiously nearby.

On Tuesday it expires at midnight billion package that the lenders (the eurozone, the European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund), Greece in recent years have upheld. Yet aside money, including for the Greek banking sector, it will lapse and Greece has to financially stand on their own.

The failure of the talks on an extension of this package is to complete due to the Greeks , finds Europe. Declaring the referendum on a financial bailout of the lenders, the negative voting recommendation of the government, was the proverbial last straw.

Minister and Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem said “disappointed” about the Greek occur. The President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker, felt even “a little betrayed.” “Europe can only work if we are in a dialogue to bridge differences,” said Juncker, who voices the Greeks called before the EU and the euro. German Chancellor Angela Merkel did not tell the Greeks how to vote and announced that it would respect the outcome.

A Greek exit from the eurozone (Grexit) is to be avoided according to Dijsselbloem. “There is still much conceivable. I keep saying that the door is still open to us, although the possibility and time very limited. “Juncker also held open the door for the Greeks to come to negotiate. “A Grexit has never been an option, and still do not,” Juncker said. “Greece is Europe and Europe is Greece.”

The Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, the government of the euro countries, meanwhile, wrote and asked for an extension of the aid package. But that question seems to fall on deaf ears.

Monday was also announced that the referendum bill first “no” afterwards. The box for approval of the plans of the lenders comes afterwards. Although the formal question is whether the proposal should be accepted, it runs according to the Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi a choice “between the euro and the drachma,” was his tweet.




The Greeks vote Sunday in a referendum on the proposal of the lenders to the country. On the referendum bill, they can only answer ‘no’. The box before approving the plan comes only after that.

“Should the proposal submitted by the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund during the Eurogroup of June 25, 2015, consisting of two parts that make up their comprehensive proposal be accepted? “is the question that must answer to the Greeks.

The leftist government, which rejected the proposal during the negotiations, the residents called on to vote against because that would strengthen the negotiating position. The leaders in the eurozone, including Eurogroup leader Jeroen Dijsselbloem, but on Monday made it clear that a no vote is seen as a rejection of euro membership.

Europe and Greece on a collision course – Het Nieuwsblad

It is there overarm between Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and the European Commission. President Jean-Claude Juncker feels in his own words betrayed since Tsipras announced to want to hold a referendum, while the Greek Prime Minister Juncker’s honesty into question. The breach of trust brings a Greek bankruptcy even a step closer.
             

         

Earlier Monday became clear that Tsipras asked the European leaders in a letter to still extend one more time the emergency aid for Greece. It was the British newspaper Financial Times, which might consult the letter to Luxembourg’s prime minister Xavier Bettel, who announced the message.

But Juncker did not look at his cards when he responded at a news conference Monday afternoon. However, he stressed how serious the situation is currently. “This is not a poker game,” he said. How to proceed, according to him, he was not concrete, but intend to abide by a Greek default, the Commission has already clearly not. The EU remains behind the rescue plan on having suggested Friday stressed the committee, and the door for Greece is still open to negotiating the final EU proposals.

Greeks strike calls itself

Juncker called the Greeks meanwhile also “yes” to the reforms in the referendum on Sunday, July 5th, and so Tsipras vote de facto. Because who called on his compatriots to approve the terms. “I am deeply saddened by the events of the past weekend,” Juncker said about the referendum.

‘Tactics got the upper hand. I feel betrayed a bit. I’ve done everything I can, and neither I nor Eurogroup chairman Jeroen Dijsselbloem deserves criticism. Because it is the Greek negotiators themselves who went on strike Friday talks with creditors. The Greeks are dear to my heart, I tried to stand by their side. “

Still according to Juncker, the Greeks put the proposal not to accept the European solidarity is at stake. “The leaders of the other European countries have shown responsibility by taking austerity measures,” he stressed.

The Greek Government had requested an extension of the emergency aid could be submitted to the reforms through a referendum to the people. But that idea fell through the eurogroup off immediately, so that the negotiations were broken off. And the European Central Bank (ECB) will no longer help out.

The result is that Athens will have debt of 1.6 billion euros which must be before the end of this month to the IMF refundable, will be unable to repay. The letter Tsipras European government requires more time, the Greek Prime Minister is hoping that they return to their decision and extend the emergency to another.

The need is urgent. Because if this happens, the threat of a Greek drama, and Greece on July 1 officially bankrupt. That is why the Greek government as a precaution to avoid the banks closed until July 6 and withdrawals limited to 60 euros per day, in a final attempt bankruptcy.
