  • [01] IMF chief Lagarde has phone contact with PM Tsipras

    ANA/MPA---Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Thursday had a phone contact with the IMF head Christine Lagarde on the implementation course of the February 20 agreement as well as on the so-called Lagarde list (which includes the names of Greece's large-scale depositors in a Swiss bank).

    According to government sources, Tsipras briefed Lagarde on the progress of the negotiations as well as the implementation course of the Eurogroup February 20 agreement, while the IMF head telling the premier that "the Lagarde-list has made me famous in your country" and Tsipras responding "Yes, but in a positive sense."

    Lagarde noted to Tsipras that Greece so far has done nothing to make use of the list and the wealthy people still do not pay their taxes. Tsipras agreed with her and noted that the new government aims for a socially fair tax system, government sources said.

    [02] The government is committed to fully clear out all aspects of the Siemens scandal, FinMin says

    ANA/MPA---"The government is committed politically, morally and legally to fully clear out all aspects of the Siemens scandal," Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis on Thursday said in a statement referring to recent developments concerning this issue.

    As he noted, "during the discussion two days ago in the Council of State on the extrajudicial settlement with Siemens, the Judge of the State Legal Council, who represented the Greek government, did not ask for the consultation of the political leadership on this issue. In any case, the aim of the Finance ministry is to fully restore the economic and moral damage the Greek government has suffered. The legal assistance of the German authorities for the activities of Siemens in Greece will help this effort. We are working in this direction."
