Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said the repeated refusal by EU and IMF negotiators of his proposed measures are in contrast to what happened with Portugal.

In a series of tweets posted on Twitter, the Greek Prime Minister this attitude makes him question whether or not there is interest in securing a deal or whether it was merely a case of special interest being protected.

Portugal has addressed all questions raised and has done it bravely. Portugal is on its way back to balance, after a long and painful process. Greece on the contrary keeps blaming everybody else for their problems. Tsipras has to deal with facts such as the greek people´s paramount unwillingness for paying taxes at the same time as the public expectations on what the weak public sector grows by the day. Portugal will come out of this as a stronger country than before the crisis. Greece is heading for disaster.
