I think what happened in Brussels shows the enormous gap between the Greek side and the lenders’ side which will be hard to bridge. The Greek economy will not grow a lot this year and next, and thus achieving a primary surplus - even if it is very small - will be very difficult. It will require tax increases and spending cuts probably including pensions. These steps would be very difficult for the SYRIZA government to accept, because they go right against everything we promised to the Greek people. We have a major problem here.
