I think that one of the pressure points for Greece is that their government payroll and pension payouts are due out today.
There were talks that they couldn't cover it, maybe this is the last one that they can cover.
Maybe that's what got them serious. Its all good to bluster in your negotiations, but when you're suddenly staring at a ton of checks bouncing in the next two weeks and an angry populace you tend to get serious in a hurry.
