Madrid--Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy on Sunday called on his Greek counterpart to be "serious" about his country's debt-wracked economy after Alexis Tsipras accused other eurozone stragglers of undermining negotiations with Brussels for a bailout extension.
"We are not responsible for the frustration created by the radical Greek left which promised the Greek people things it knew it couldn't hold to," Rajoy said at a meeting of his conservative party, hitting back at Tsipras saying pressure from Spain and Portugal had "the character of blackmail."
