Of some note: An agreement has been reached but analysts in Athens are already describing the concessions made by the Greek government as “politically poisonous,” Helena Smith reports. Prime minister Alexis Tsipras’ government will almost certainly face fierce reaction from militants in his radical left Syriza party and from the populist right-wing Anel, his junior partner in the governing coalition. “Very heavy concessions have been made, politically poisonous concessions for the government,” Pavlos Tzimas, the veteran political commentator, has just told SKAI news. “It’s going to be a crash test on the domestic front for the government,” the television channels says. “The big question now is what reforms the government is going to agree to,” Takis Hadzis, another commentator, has also told Skai news. Any reforms will have to be endorsed by the Greek parliament. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
