"Some media rushed to present an ESM proposal on the restructuring of the Greek debt as a new loan or a new memorandum. What else they will invent?" said the same sources adding that "We wonder if these distortions are just nonsense and ignorance or are used for political purposes. In any case we would recommend the 'experts' that is better not to speak for those they do know and remain silent" said Finance Ministry sources to Athens Macedonian News Agency.
