Alexis Tsipras, IMF seem to agree: new debt haircut essential

The impossible seems possible: Alexis Tsipras, leader of Greek main opposition party left-wing SYRIZA and the International Monetary Fund seem to have agreed that the Greek austerity program cannot succeed and therefore a new debt haircut is inevitable. After meeting with IMF officials in Washington, Tsipras told reporters that “cutting salaries in the private sector was not the choice of IMF” but the one of the Greek governments.
