Position 1: "We need a big debt restructuring, no more kicking the can," says Greece's Minister of State.

Position 2: Germany offers a possibility of unspecified debt relief, at a future point in time, only if necessary. First, Greece must make another round of budget cuts on top of the pension cuts its just made.
