"Either
they do not want an agreement or they serve specific interests in
Greece", Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras said to his colleagues,
shortly before departing for Brussels, referring to the insistence of
certain institutions not to accept equivalent measures.
"The
non-acceptance of equivalent measures is unprecedented. Neither in
Ireland nor in Portugal. Nowhere! This strange stance may be due to
two reasons. Either they do not want an agreement or they serve
specific interests in Greece," Tsipras said, according to a
government source.

... a
government [previous ND-PASOK] official speaks publicly about
interests that actually the Troika serves. Specifically, Michalis
Papadopoulos, Deputy Transport Minister said among other things:
“The
troika has certain obsessions that are groundless and are part of
the way of thinking created by its technical teams,”
he told Athens 984 radio station. “They
are like a corner shop, where everyone who passes leaves something
and then the troika picks up on it and says: “Ah, yes! You have
to do this as well”.”
“There
are institutional bodies, Greek and foreign, who pass by the
troika and say: “Do this as well”,”
said the deputy minister. “The troika
has adopted a way of thinking that involves them serving
particular interests.”
