Key Quotes
“The Eurogroup gave their blessing to the third aid package for Greece; the next step is for several parliaments to approve, and the key one is Germany”.

“Much of Merkel's European policy has relied on support from the Social Democrats, whether they have been part of the government or not.This vote will be consistent with that pattern”.
“Recall that 60 members of her caucus did not approve of initiating talks for this aid package”.
