Speaking in Berlin after returning from a two-week vacation German Chancellor Angela Merkel rebuffed questions about additional assistance for Greece. Instead, she pointed to “positive elements” as the euro economy begins a turnaround.
“We need to give Greece a little time so that things can develop a bit,” Merkel said.
According to Bloomberg, the chancellor also defended Germany’s commitment to European solidarity. Still, she said, a third Merkel government will pursue the same crisis-resolution course as it has so far.
“I will ensure that solidarity also leads to results,” Merkel said. “It makes no sense if structurally nothing changes.
The German Chancellor is expected to be re-elected for a third term in the September 22 parliamentary election.
