The Spanish prime minister, Mariano Rajoy, insisted on Monday the need for Greece to meet its commitments to the European Union, “as do all other “and he hoped that the country does not leave the euro area.

” I do not want Greece out of the euro. I do not believe that to be good either for Greece or for the whole of Europe. Now, I like what I do is that Greece will fulfill its commitments, as do all the others, “said Rajoy private radio Onda Cero.

On Saturday, Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos warned on a Hellenic country eventual exit from the eurozone, as it would entail a “domino effect” that could spread to Spain.

“If Greece explodes, the next will be Spain and Italy. And eventually, Germany . Therefore, we must find a solution within the euro, “he told the popular German daily Bild.

Kammenos also accused the German finance minister, Wolfgang Schäuble, to poison relations between Athens and Berlin.

Rajoy ruled that domino stressing that “Spain has already passed the worst” and that, unlike Greece, “is funded in markets perfectly.”

“We are able to continue helping Greece, but Greece also has to help herself and has to make decisions like other countries in the European Union, all their commitments taken, “he said Rajoy.

” Now again lash Germany, I think that is (…) a mistake you can not go through life giving tacazos others. Things are resolved through dialogue in a civilized and correct manner “estimated Rajoy.

” What can not be is that Greece say + give me this money and I do what I think it appropriate and convenient +. Do not, do the same as others, “he added.

The Greek government, led by Alexis Tsipras, the leftist Syriza, want to benefit from greater flexibility by the European Central Bank (ECB) for liquidity.

Also expect a quick release, at least partially, the last installment of bailout (about 7,200 million euros) provided after the extension of financial assistance decided on 20 February by the eurozone and the International Monetary Fund.
