The developments in the political and economic landscape of the country were put on the table for discussion. The most important point discussed was the upcoming troika visit in Athens, Greece. The meeting took place only days after the one regarding the 25 euro fee for hospital admission.
According to Yannis Stournaras it is unknown when Poul Thomsen, Klaus Masuch and Matthias Mors will be arriving in Athens, but they will certainly return within the next week. Evangelos Venizelos also spoke of “propaganda that won’t allow Greece to exit the crisis.”
