Responding to reporters’ questions about Greece, Scholz said that “we have worked very hard to cooperate with Greece in recent years. The same is true when I was finance minister of Finance. People in Greece have understood that,” he underlined.

“Greece is now moving in the right direction of recovery and development, and that is something I appreciate very much.”

He added that this a view shared by Germany’s new finance minister Christian Lindner.
