Eurozone crisis live: Greek president attacks Germany as bailout looks shakier | Business | guardian.co.uk

There's a few interesting rumours skitting around tonight following the eurogroup conference call.

Dow Jones is reporting tonight that some eurozone officials want a "Troika presense" agreed in Athens before the bailout can proceed, along with a commitment that Greece's rescue funds will be paid into an escrow account.

There's also a report that the German, Finnish and Netherland's finance ministers suggested that the eurogroup should also seek pledges from Greece's smaller political parties - having secured Antonis Samaras and George Papandreou's support.

That has not gone down well in Greece - journalist Efthimia Efthimiou argued that it showed that the eurozone was no longer prepared to help Greece.



Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.
