Greece: Leftist Alexis Tsipras claims deal has been brokered without his party "Three parties have agreed on a framework for a two-year government," said Mr Tsipras, apparently referring to the conservatives, the socialists and the small Europhile Democratic Left party, while slamming its commitment to what he called a "criminal" EU-IMF loan agreement. "This is a disgrace... it's slander and a lie," said the small party, seen as a last hope for a political breakthrough to avert a repeat ballot that could plunge Greece in further uncertainty and endanger vital reforms. The president met for 90 minutes with Syriza, the conservative New Democracy and socialist Pasok parties, and was to meet at 7:30pm with the head of the nationalist Independent Greeks party, which also opposes the bail-out agreement. "Syriza won't betray the Greek people," he said in comments televised live on state-run NET TV. We are being asked to agree to the destruction of Greek society. The three pro-bail-out parties have the numbers, and they can form a government. Earlier Mr Tsipras said he will not join or support a pro-bail-out coalition government, saying he cannot agree to what he terms a mistake. The leaders of the Communists, the neo-Nazi Golden Dawn group and the Democratic Left party were next in line for talks with the president. After elections last Sunday failed to produce a viable government, Greece is facing the prospect of new elections by mid-June if political leaders fail to form a unity government.
