AUSTRIA: Werner Faymann, Austria’s Chancellor, in his telephonic conversations with Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, has said that an agreement on an extension of debt maturities based on European consensus was possible. However, he said that it depended on Greece’s actions to tax the millionaires.
“One has to give people the chance to honor (a) commitment. I have the feeling that the Prime Minister (Tsipras) is aware that his proposals stand on the basis of commitments of his predecessors,” Faymann said in an interview aired by ORF radio.
