“All parties must show responsibility and solidarity to solve the Greek crisis” says Gianni Pittella

S&D Group leader Gianni Pittella made the following statement on the Greek government's proposals to exit the crisis:

"The Greek government has presented credible and serious proposals. We believe that the conditions for a fair deal have been met.

“We hope that there will be a constructive discussion and a positive outcome in the Greek Parliament today. We also expect the institutions' to have a positive and constructive approach. All institutions must now work together in a spirit of goodwill. There is no time to lose. A Grexit must be avoided at all costs. We urge everyone to show responsibility and solidarity. "
