There will be developments in the next days, we are entering the final stretch, estimated government spokesman Dimitris Tzanakopoulos referring to the agreement on the second review in an interview with SKAI TV on Sunday.

He urged Bank of Greece (BoG) governor Yiannis Stournaras to stop hiding behind his institutional position and stop playing politics.

In the same interview, Tzanakopoulos clarified that the government will not ask for central banker's resignation and underlined that in the last period is observed that the Democratic Alliance and main opposition New Democracy's views coincide.

He denied that German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble asked for a 35 percent reduction in pensions. «The German finance ministry never got involved with technical issues».

Tzanakopoulos said that there is no crisis in the government adding that the different political views in a party are a healthy phenomenon.

Finally, he said that he sees no reason for early elections (before 2019) because, as he claimed, elections would be disastrous for the country, the economy and the society.
