Merkel is now talking about Greece.
Greece was on a good path, but it has not been completed. It has dragged its heels on necessary structural reforms.
She is heckled when she says: “Self-responsibility and solidarity go hand in hand.”
She reiterates that Germany is working to keep Greece in the euro, using her mantra “where there is a will, there is a way”. A deal is still possible with Greece’s three international creditors – the EU, International Monetary Fund and European Central Bank.

Merkel says the EU summit next week won’t discuss Britain’s demands for EU reforms, but Donald Tusk, president of the European Council, will be asked to examine them. But, Merkel stresses, the principle of freedom of movement within the EU is not up for debate.
The German chancellor says it’s not the first time that a member state has sought to clarify its role within the EU, but in the end, compromises were always found. She mentions Denmark in 1992 and Ireland in 2008.
I’m confident that we can achieve this this time. [i.e. keep Britain in the EU]
