ECB decision on Greece \\\'legitimate\\\': Hollande

PARIS, Feb 5 (AFP): French President Francois Hollande said Thursday the European Central Bank's decision to cut off Greek banks' access to a key source of much-needed cash was "legitimate".
Speaking at one of his biannual press conferences, he said the ECB move put the responsibility to reduce debt squarely on the shoulders of "states and governments... And it's perfectly legitimate."
Hollande's comments came a day after he met Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras in Paris.
The ECB said it would no longer accept Greek government bonds-which have a junk rating-as collateral for loans to the country's banks.
