According to an unnamed European officer who spoke to Reuters, Greece’s European creditors are prepared to be generous in the debt relief negotiations that are scheduled for autumn, in order to avoid jeopardizing the Samaras administration.

According to the European officer, the recent election results may have “softened the stance of creditors” in the discussions for assistance to Greece.

Meanwhile a report in the Bloomberg news agency suggests that SYRIZA’s victory may help Antonis Samaras by laxing the terms of paying the public debt. The report stressed that the EU leaders appear to have taken on board the anti-austerity message that European voters sent in the recent elections.
