Yanis Varoufakis Issues a Major Warning to the Greek People

Varoufakis said that Schuble, Germany’s finance minister and the architect of the deals Greece signed in 2010 and 2012, was ‘consistent throughout’. ‘His view was ‘I’m not discussing the program – this was accepted by the previous [Greek] government and we can’t possibly allow an election to change anything.
‘So at that point I said ‘Well perhaps we should simply not hold elections anymore for indebted countries’, and there was no answer. The only interpretation I can give [of their view] is, ‘Yes, that would be a good idea, but it would be difficult. So you either sign on the dotted line or you are out.”
