Tusk says Greece must bow to reality as time for ‘gambling’ over
European Union President Donald Tusk accused Greece of “gambling” with its future in the eurozone and pressed Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras’s government to make concessions in order to escape economic ruin.
Tusk abandoned his neutral position as a broker of EU compromises by urging Greece to cut a deal with creditors at a meeting of finance ministers next week.
“The Greek government has to be, I think, a little bit more realistic,” Tusk told reporters on Thursday in Brussels. “There is no more space for gambling, there is no more time for gambling. The day is coming I am afraid that someone says the game is over.”
