So why didn't they?

  • Schaeuble and Merkel have no differences regarding Greece (Remember, it's not official until it's officially denied)

Merkel spokesman Seibert also pops up to say that Merkel and Schaeuble are working together just fine

It looks like Tsipras may be playing games as BBG has just said that he will be having a chat with Putin shortly. The Greek government official is saying it's about energy issues

So, the Greeks could have paid but didn't and now Tsipras announces a call with Putin. Looks like Greece hasn't finished playing chicken with the EU/IMF
