[02] Don't assume euro zone will simply accept your plans, EU's Juncker
tells Tsipras
ANA/MPA---European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on Monday
advised Greece's new government not to assume the euro zone would
simply accept all the promises Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras made to
Greek voters about scrapping economic reforms, Reuters news agency said.
Speaking before talks with Germany's Social Democrats (SPD) - junior
partners in Angela Merkel's coalition - Juncker told reporters that
Tsipras had "only partly addressed" Brussels' concerns about his plans
in a speech in Athens on Sunday.
Tsipras laid out plans to dismantle the austerity programme prescribed
by Berlin and ruled out any extension of the bailout, setting himself
on a collision course with his EU partners, according to Reuters.
