Eurozone official to FT: 'They crucified Tsipras in there'
The eurozone leaders' session, which almost ended in Greece exiting the euro, was tense, even (verbally) violent, a participant in the talks said.
"In the end, some bleary-eyed diplomats emerged unsure who had prevailed in the marathon session. But they seemed agreed as to who had suffered most," the Financial Times report.
“They crucified Tsipras in there,” a senior eurozone official who had attended the summit remarked. “Crucified.”
Failing to reach a full accord on Saturday, the eurogroup, the eurozone's finance ministers' meeting, handed the baton on Sunday to the bloc’s heads of state to begin their own an all-night session.
As the hours passed and Sunday turned to Monday, the prospect of a Grexit seemed to grow more probable, participants said, heightening divisions between sleep-deprived politicians and diplomats that have developed over six months of mostly frustrating negotiations.
A senior official in the room believed that Germany was now the country that appeared to be acting in bad faith — no longer Tsipras. At one point, Tsipras had to endure a lecture from the Slovenian prime minister, to which Italian prime minister Matteo Renzi objected.
Eventually, François Hollande, the French president who has battled to keep Greece in the fold, ushered Merkel and Tsipras into European council president Donald Tusk’s office to finalise a compromise on the privatisation fund. Although they were ultimately successful, the negotiations appeared to strain the Franco-German relationship long at the heart of the European project.
“There was in Germany a rather strong pressure for a Grexit. I refused that solution,” Hollande told reporters after a deal was reached.
On the privatisation fund, in particular, Hollande gave backing to Tsipras. It was a question of “sovereignty,” the French leader said. “Nothing would have been worse than humiliating Greece, Greece didn't seek charity, but solidarity from the eurozone.”
Mr Hollande also insisted that the possibility of a temporary Greek exit from the eurozone — a controversial initiative German finance minister Wolfgang Schäuble had managed to insert into the eurogroup proposals — be removed from the final document.
