Matteo Renzi, Italy's prime minister, is going to tell Germany that the humiliation of Greece must stop.

Renzi told Italian newspaper Il Mesaggero that: "Now common sense must prevail and an agreement must be reached. Italy does not want Greece to exit the euro and to Germany I say: enough is enough.

"Now that Tsipras has made proposals in line with the European demands, we must absolutely sign a deal. Humiliating a European partner after Greece has given up on just about everything is unthinkable."

 

Renzi is going to make similar comments to Chancellor Merkel tonight.
