Parliament backs reform negotiations
A Syriza party spokesman says the Greek parliament will give a mandate to government encouraging full negotiations with creditors. The focus will be on a cash for reforms agreement. Prime Minister Tsipras will request support on July 10 to negotiate “prior actions” which refer to measures his party will use to convince creditors of their commitment for an aid deal. When asked if the parliament believed there would be a deal, the spokesman says:
Certainly. Today we are speaking in parliament.
