Greek newspaper Kathimerini reports:
(I found the article a little confusing re timings, it looks like the meeting is on Tuesday so I'm wondering of 'Monday' referred to in the first paragraph is typo. Anyway ... here it is, in brief)
- Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras is due to speak to SYRIZA MPs on Monday
- SYRIZA's parliamentary group is due to convene at 1 p.m. Tuesday
Tsipras remained defiant Monday:
- He issued a statement saying that his government would not give in to demands for pension cuts
- His comments were echoed by spokesman Gavriil Sakellaridis in his regular press briefing. "We have largely reached our limits,"
The Greek proposals leaked by Kathimerini showed that Athens has now accepted the lenders' primary surplus targets of 1 percent of GDP for this year and 2 percent of GDP in 2016
Where there are still major differences is in the adjustments needed to value-added tax and cuts to pensions in order to hit those targets
