SYRIZA govt plans Greek elections as early as Sept. 13

The Radical Left Coalition (SYRIZA) government’s main goal at the moment is to reach an agreement with lenders (EC, ECB, IMF and ESM) so as to clear the political scene and start its new three-year bailout program along with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker’s development package worth 35 bln euros. The government leadership hopes for the new package to be agreed upon by all sides before Wednesday and be ratified by Greek Parliament prior to the Eurogroup meeting on Friday.
