Greece issues fresh warning on IMF payment
A Greek government minister said Sunday that Athens will be unable to repay the IMF on schedule next month, reiterating previous warnings by officials during tense talks with the country's creditors.
"The instalment to the IMF won't be paid," Interior Minister Nikos Voutsis told Mega TV.
"The instalments for the IMF in June are 1.6 billion euros ($1.8 billion). This money will not be given. There isn't any to be given. This is a known fact," he said.
Voutsis added however that the negotiations between Athens and its creditors were taking place "on the basis of cautious optimism that there will be a strong agreement".
