‘Greece will have to leave euro if second bailout not agreed’

GREECE will have to leave the eurozone if it fails to clinch a deal on a second, €130 billion bailout with its international lenders, a government spokesman has said.

It was an unusually public stark warning from the embattled country, aimed at shoring up domestic support for tough measures and possibly also at the lenders themselves.

“The bailout agreement needs to be signed otherwise we will be out of the markets, out of the euro,” spokesman Pantelis Kapsis told Skai TV. “The situation will be much worse.”
