The President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker told a German magazine that he is in touch with the Eurogroup chief Jeroen Dijsselbloem to extend Greece’s current program, in order to bridge the gap until the summer.
According to Mr. Juncker, the goal of the extension will allow Eurozone and Greek officials the necessary time to agree upon a new reform and growth plan for Greece.
