Samaras on EU/IMF loan repayment extension

Main opposition New Democracy (ND) leader Antonis Samaras on Monday reiterated ND’s position on the issue of extension of the repayment period for Greece’s 110 billion euros EU/IMF support mechanism loan.

“Our position is crystal clear. First, extension. Second, simultaneous reduction of the borrowing cost, namely the interest rate. Third, eurobonds,” Samaras told waiting reporters upon arrival at the ND local offices in Thessaloniki for a meeting of the party’s steering committee.
