German Chancellor Angela Merkel said on Saturday that Greece seemed to be making headway with its reforms and should stick to the agreements it had made but added that the crisis-stricken country should continue to be given more chances.
“I have the impression that, step-by-step, we are beginning to see progress there. It’s often slower than we had imagined but on this front we should give Greece another chance time and again,” she said in a weekly video podcast.
“On the one hand we should demand that the agreements on which we decided together are kept. But on the other hand we should, in our role as friends and partners, offer assistance and support.”
Merkel said the German government was in close contact with Greece.
