Gov’t VP discusses Greek debt with leading UN rights expert
Reducing Greece’s debt and its servicing cost forms one of the basic conditions for the country’s exit from the crisis, the UN independent expert on the rights impact of foreign debt, Juan Pablo Bohoslavsky, said on Monday, during a meeting with government Vice-president Yiannis Dragasakis in Athens.
According to a press release from the Vice-Presidency, Dragasakis hailed Bohoslavsky’s comment as well as his view that funds need to be channeled into the country saved to stimulate the real economy and strengthening the development process.
The meeting was held ahead of the UN expert’s Tuesday’s briefing where he will present his preliminary findings, which form part of his final report expected to be submitted to the UN’s Human Rights Council in 2016.
