Greek Prime Minister speaking on TV now:

  • Mandate I received in January has expired and now people must decide anew
  • This difficult phase of negotiations is finally over

What he calls 'negotiations' might better be referred to as 'dictations' from Germany.

  • Bailout agreement was best that could be achieved
  • We will fight to mitigate adverse consequences

The latest:

  • He's expected to resign the government and personally resign
  • He will call an election for Sept 20
  • His coalition is expected to break up
