Eurogroup president urges speedy Greek elections

Eurogroup president Jeroen Dijsselbloem urged Greece yesterday to hold elections as soon as possible to avoid delays in implementing a third bailout package.

“I hope that they are as quick as possible so that the least possible amount of time is wasted,” he told journalists in The Hague.

“I think the intention of Prime Minister [Alexis] Tsipras is to get a more stable government.”
