Lots of “committed to” in that. 
Germany has rejected Greece’s application to extend its loan agreement and renegotiate the terms of its bailout, raising the very real threat of Athens running out of money in the coming weeks.
The Berlin government Thursday said Greece’s application for a six-month extension of its loan and a renegotiation of some its terms was “no substantial solution.”
“In truth it goes in the direction of a bridge financing, without fulfilling the demands of the program. The letter does not meet the criteria agreed by the Eurogroup on Monday,” German finance ministry spokesman Martin Jaeger said in a statement.
Dangerous level of cuntery on show here. Beware what you wish for, Angela.
Also úber–presumptuous in a ‘we run europe’ kind of way.
Greece has the Commission on its side already. Big test is whether it can get a few governments to sympathise and support it. A lot of like minded governments currently in situ that are dead against a deal, the cunts running germany, Ireland, netherlands, Austria, Spain et al at the moment lined up against. But if Greece gets the likes of France the commission and a few more on side they might face down the greedy short memoried fuckheaded krauts.
Unclear what the big fuss over agreeing the detail in a deal is anyway - it’s not like Greek govts or tax payers have much history of sticking to them once the money starts flowing.
Yeah. Or Germany.
If the Greeks are kicked out the Germans will have to put cash on the table straight away. Apparently there is about 70 billion of unreported liabilities floating around the central bank clearing systems. And if Greece defaults the Euro central banks will have to pick up the tab.
Get that up ya Merkel ya cunt!
“Apparently”" and “unreported” glas. *
- though likely true.

If I say it’s there. It’s there.
You’re no drummer.
Should I pay or should I go
Germans have no interest in kicking the can down the road anymore. They have the systems in place to back stop the rest of the eurozone and they’ve no interest in talking to the lefties or filling European Governments up with lefties.
There seems to be no chance of a German compromise, up to the Greeks to stand firm or fold.

Angela has been very insistent on the subject of the bailout moneys, where’s the money Wolfgang, why aren’t you out getting the money now, and so on and son on, so please the money.
Eurogroup meeting to start @ 3.30. Presumably to allow the Greeks time for a siesta.
Merkel to Greece
We have a deal. A four month extension.
Buying time. New Greek govt. are only just in the door.
Buying time for what exactly?
