Dijsselbloem sees little chance of progress after Tsipras speech

Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said the euro zone's finance ministers will discuss a proposal sent by Athens, but he sees "little chance" of progress after comments by Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras.

Less than 24 hours after Tsipras told creditors in a letter he would accept their bailout offer if some conditions were changed, he said in a public address that Greece was being "blackmailed".

"We will talk about the proposals, but with that last speech I see little prospect of progress," Dijsselbloem told journalists.
