a series of small concessions on key points that he hopes will be enough to ease the crisis without angering his people too much."I think this is time for a substantial and viable solution that would allow Greece to come back to growth within the eurozone, with social justice and cohesion," he said.His position was bolstered by a large protest in Athens Monday night in favor of steps to keep Greece in the eurozone.But there is also lots of anger in Greece about what many people see as oppressive austerity imposed by the country’s creditors.An increasing number of experts agree the austerity has hurt the country’s ability to repay its debt.“We need to do everything right now to make the Greek economy grow again, that’s the only way out."Economist Dennis Novy of Britain’s University of Warwick says without growth, he adds, any deal will only a temporary fix.“Germany and France, the European Union and the IMF have to stop asking for these fiscal reforms in Greece that actually push the economy down further,” he said.Still, even the possibility of an imperfect and short-term accord has calmed financial markets, and it may help foster growth,according to Zsolt Darvas of the Brussels-based Bruegel Institute, who spoke via Skype.
