IMF walks out of Greece bailout talks
Lender says its negotiating team are going home to Washington due to a lack of progress in narrowing key differences with Athens

The International Monetary Fund dramatically pulled out of talks with debt-stricken Greece on Thursday after it accused Athens of failing to compromise over labour market and pension reforms.

The Washington-based lender of last resort said its team of negotiators had quit talks in Brussels after reaching a stalemate and would be returning to Washington.

The move left the Greek negotiating team with no option but to say it would also be leaving the talks and heading home to Athens.

SYRIZA MPs gearing up for compromise

There were signs on Thursday that SYRIZA officials are preparing their party colleagues and the public for the possibility that the government will have to sign up to an agreement with lenders that will not be looked upon favorably by some MPs and voters.

“It is a compromise; we are not hiding it,” said SYRIZA’s parliamentary spokesman Nikos Filis of the ongoing talks with creditors, while admitting that the negotiations were “not planned in the most effective way.”
