Merkel kicks of the parliamentary session ahead of Greek bailout vote
- Tsipras's election promises were contradictory
- Goal is to keep Greece in Euro
- Europe needs ability to compromise to work
- Trust has been lost in Greece
- Germany will not agree to debt cut for Greece
- Greek aid package is tough for Greek people
- Greek economy has regressed under Tsipras (Taking it to the Greek PM)
- Aid plan is also tough for the rest of Europe
- Greece is being offered unprecedented solidarity
- We cannot have a haircut in the Eurozone
- We need to ensure verification of Greek reforms
She's getting a rousing round of applause but there's a few not joining in
Not interested
- Wishes to thank Schaeuble for his work on Greece
- Time out for Greece was not doable
- Alternative to this agreement would be chaos
- Would be irresponsible if we did not pursue negotiations on a new bailout program
- Germany does well when everyone does well in Europe
And she's done
Now every Tom, Deitcher and Hansel will have their say
Pretty in pink
