Greece to force a way out of this country eurozone crisis. Chancellor Angela Merkel sees this course as “inevitable” if the radical left SYRIZA coalition wins early elections of January 25, as expected all the polls, and deselect the setting up and leave the single currency.

This version was published by the prestigious magazine Der Spiegel, which relies on “government circles” who argue that both Merkel and Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, are now viable Greek exit block, something that previously fought. This implies a change in the German position is, according to Der Spiegel, that the progress made in the Eurozone from the most critical point of the crisis in 2012 in the Hellenic country make the danger of contagion has decreased considerably.

Also the president of the German Left Party, Bernd Riexinger, accused the Executive of trying to destabilize Greece ahead of a likely victory of the left, which already announced intention to end the policy settings and restructure the debt.

“With this indiscretion intentionally, the government launches a bomb that can escalate the crisis in Greece and harming the chances of whom now appears as top seed in the election,” he warned opposition leader told the Handelsblatt newspaper website.
