The European Socialists claim to Greece consensus solutions

PES Leaders´ Meeting in Madrid

USPA NEWS - The secretary general of the Spanish Socialist Party (PSOE), Pedro Sanchez, said Saturday that the EU needs to find "a lasting solution" to the Greek crisis, but warned that this solution will not come with "unilateral threats or nationalist impulses".
Sanchez opened the PES Leaders' Meeting held in Madrid. For the secretary general of the Socialists and opposition leader in Spain, the solution of the Greek crisis has to be consensual and interest to both Europeans and the Greeks. In this regard, said that the solution to the Greek crisis will only be possible with "more Europe", although it should be "a different Europe".
The PES Leaders' Meeting met in Madrid on 40 European socialist leaders. Before them, Pedro Sanchez said Greece must accelerate reforms in the public administration and combat "seriously" fraud. The Spanish Socialist leader was wrapped by former Prime Minister Felipe Gonzalez, who has kept some differences in relation to the changes that Pedro Sanchez is taking place in the PSOE. These differences appear to be overcome and Felipe González accompanied the secretary general of the Spanish Socialists at the opening of the summit.
The former Prime Minister spoke about the threat of terrorism and said that the fight against this international scourge is "80% intelligence and 20% operation". However, he warned that in that 20%, in the "action strategy" Europe "is failing because it is not coordinated". Felipe González declared "contrary to all" in his defense of that democracy and open societies are stronger than authoritarian societies against the threat of jihadist fundamentalism.
