Greece Premier Alexis Tsipras
will ask Brussels Tuesday for a seven-billion euro bridge loan,
possibly within the next 48 hours, to meet emergency needs and
debt repayments in order to avoid default, sources told ANSA. An
Italian member of the European Parliament told ANSA Tuesday EC
President Jean-Claude Juncker was developing such a bridge loan.
"The immediate goal is to save Greece from bankruptcy...every
minute is precious," said Gianni Pittella, who heads the EU
parliament's S&D group. "Athens immediately needs help".
