Jean-Claude Juncker: That pressure seemed to have an effect on Friday, according to Deutsche Welle. According to one Greek government official, Tsipras had spoken with European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker on the phone and discussed the next steps of cash-for-reform negotiations. The fact that the eurozone is preparing for a worst-case scenario ratchets up pressure on Greek Prime Minister Alex Tsipras to reach a deal on time. The official also said that Athens was ready to submit counter proposals to its international creditors - the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund - and that last-minute talks would be restarted in Brussels on Saturday. The indebted country was given until Friday to come up with a concrete proposal that its lenders could review over the weekend, giving European finance ministers enough time to sign off on it when they convene on June 18. Half of Germans want Greece out Greece has less than a week to reach a deal with its creditors or risk default and a possible ejection from the common currency area.
