Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has doubted the ability of Greek prime minister Alexis Tsipras to deliver on key promises in his second term.
The economics professor, whose research focus is game theory, said Tsipras has limited scope to renegotiate the details of the agreement and barter for debt relief.
"Voters supported Tsipras because he appeared the most likely candidate to deliver on these promises. The trouble is, his capacity to do so is severely circumscribed by the agreement he has already signed," Varoufakis wrote in the Guardian.
"His power to negotiate is negligible given the agreement’s clear condition that the Greek government must 'agree with the [troika] on all actions relevant for the achievement of the objectives of the memorandum of understanding'".
