EU chief feels 'betrayed' by Greece | |
(35 minutes later) | |
The European Commission chief, Jean-Claude Juncker, has said he feels "betrayed" by the "egotism" showed by Greece in the failed debt talks. | |
He told a news conference that Greek proposals were "delayed" or "deliberately altered" and the Greek people "should be told the truth", but the door was still open to talks. | |
Talks broke down on Friday sparking a weekend of dramatic developments. | |
Greece called a surprise referendum and Greek banks are closed for a week. | |
The negotiations were not "a game of liar's poker", Mr Juncker said. "Either all win or all lose". | |
He said the talks were broken "unilaterally" by the announcement from the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras that he was calling a referendum for 5 July. | |
The European Commission president said that he still believed a Greek exit from the euro was not an option and insisted that the creditors' latest option meant more social fairness - "no wage cuts, no pension cuts". |
