Spain ready to talk about third Greek bailout

Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos said his government is ready to talk about a third Greek bailout.

De Guindos told a press conference in Madrid after the government's economic team met to discuss Greece's referendum result that everyone wants Greece to "stay in the euro."

However, he said "the rules for the euro remain the same as they were two days ago."

"I don't contemplate in any way Greece leaving the euro," he said.

The minister conceded the situation now was probably the most complex since the euro launched in 1999 but that the currency's irreversibility would be reaffirmed at the meeting of eurozone finance ministers on Tuesday.
