MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The survey revealed that 70 percent of some 1,200 randomly polled voters were against further concessions to Athens. Only 24 percent of respondents wanted European money lenders to ease their pressure on Greece.
The same survey showed that 41 percent of Germans would like Greece to stay in the eurozone, down from 55 percent at the start of the year. Fifty-one percent believe they would be better off without Greece.
The Greek bailout talks hit another roadblock on Thursday when one of its three key lenders, the International Monetary Fund (IMF), quit over alleged lack of progress in the negotiations. The parties have until June 30 to agree on a new deal.
Greece's total debt is currently estimated at $350 billion, with $270 billion owed to the three of its major creditors — the European Union, the European Central Bank and the IMF.
