As talks between Greece and its creditors drag on and pressure mounts on both sides to find a deal, relations between Athens and its European partners are getting worse. Tensions over reforms-for-aid negotiations came to a head on Sunday when European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker accused the Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras of distorting what the creditors had proposed to make some headway in securing a deal for the country. Tsipras said he was ‘unpleasantly surprised’ by the offer made by Juncker, who - as head of one of the three institutions overseeing Greece's bailout programme, along with the International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank - had helped to craft the proposals. It was reported by Reuters that Juncker refused a request from Tsipras to meet him on Saturday, feeling that there was little left to discuss. Expectations are rising that Greece could default on its debt and leave the eurozone altogether.
