Europe lays out tough terms for new Greece bailout

Greece faces more uncertainty Friday after euro zone finance ministers laid out tough conditions that must be met before they will sign off on a new 130 billion euro ($172.6 billion) bailout deal for the debt-ridden country.

The main Greek party leaders agreed to a last-minute deal Thursday after lengthy negotiations, which was presented to the other 16 eurozone leaders by Finance Minister Evangelos Venizelos.

But Jean-Claude Juncker, the prime minister of Luxembourg and head of the Eurogroup, which brings together euro-area finance ministers, said more assurances were needed from Athens before the bailout could be paid out.

    Yet again, I beg to differ with you. This is what decades of crooked politicians gets you. Do some research on the subject and country please.
