GREEK Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras accused international creditors yesterday of “serving particular interests” with their insistence on cuts.

Mr Tsipras had presented proposals for cutting Greek debt at the latest round of talks with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank in Brussels yesterday.

French Finance Minister Michel Sapin described the talks as the “last push” to solve Athens’s stand-off with the creditors.

But the IMF reportedly said the plans relied too heavily on tax increases rather than spending cuts and therefore risked hurting the economy.

Mr Tsipras said that “this strange stance can hide two possibilities. Either they don’t want a deal, or they are serving particular interests in Greece.”

But Italian Prime Minister Matteo Renzi hinted that some nations would like to “get rid once and for good of the presence of Greece in the eurozone.”
