Greece will not pay IMF on Friday 'without prospect of a deal'
Greece will not make a June 5 loan repayment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) if there is no prospect of an aid-for-reforms deal with its international creditors soon, Nikos Filis, the spokesman for the ruling Syriza party's lawmakers said on Wednesday.
"If there is no prospect of a deal by Friday or Monday, I don't know by when exactly, we will not pay," Nikos Filis told Mega TV.
Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras will travel to Brussels on Wednesday for a meeting with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker as Athens and its lenders seek to agree on a deal that will unlock remaining bailout funds.
