Two meetings in Berlin, one between Wolfgang Schäuble and Jeroen Dijsselbloem on Thursday and one between Merkel and Lagarde that is scheduled for Monday as well as the telephone discussion that Alexis Tsipras had last Thursday with the Chancellor of Germany are “unlocking” the door of IMF for the review of second Greek program and the achievement of a complete agreement for the Greek issue.

The main point of the preliminary agreement that was signed in Valetta’s Eurogroup last Friday is the Greek government’s decision to sacrifice the pensioners, after accepting that the € 1,8 bil. Cuts will be entered into force from 2019
