The up three weeks Finance Minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis ago, has granted an exclusive interview to The Owl program, the Spanish Radio 4g, which will air on Monday at 21:00 (14: Pacific Zone 00 hours).

Varoufakis said that De Guindos understands more about finance and economics that the re-elected president of the Eurogroup, Dutchman Jeroen Dijsselbloem: “I think Luis de Guindos was close to chair the Eurogroup. And let me tell you, at the risk of upsetting some people, who personally would have preferred to Dijsselbloem for an important reason: first because he understands finance and economy better than Dijsselbloem. My conversations with him, personally, with the doors closed when I visited in Madrid, show me someone who understands how the economy works. There is a big difference between what you speak to him privately and then defends the Eurogroup, but that’s another matter. “

To Varoufakis, Spain is in the group of countries practicing austerity without believing in it and the Government of Rajoy has been conditioned in this crisis “to their fear can” .

Varoufakis refocuses his criticism in which outside his German counterpart, Wolfgang Schäuble, who is accused of dominating the will of the Eurogroup and even Angela Merkel: “It is not true that Germany has decided that ‘Grexit” is the best choice, Dr. Schäuble is who has I decided. I believe Chancellor Merkel need not necessarily agree with this. “

In the interview the possibility of a Greek exit from the Euro is addressed, at what Varoufakis warns “the idea of ​​’Grexit’ is very dangerous for Europe” and indicates what could happen: “There is no doubt that Italy would follow Greece”

.

Asked about the story that says that Greece was on the mend until he came Syriza, Varoufakis what he described as “offensive and stupid because it’s not true” and gave his version of events: “The real story is that the recovery did not arrive. In 2014 the GDP, our national nominal income continued to fall, to collapse. What happened is that prices fell even faster. So, if the national income is computed in terms of real GDP, with the price of the market was down and was in negative terms, the ratio became positive. “ Varoufakis well defended in the interview the vote Greeks in January: “When wages and prices fall, and credit in the bank is falling precipitously, this shows that there is no recovery. It is catastrophic. And this catastrophic situation was what led the Greeks to vote for us. The Greeks are not stupid. “

This is the third interview that the Spanish journalist Luis Martin made exclusively to the Greek economist, the first held in 2011durante the height of the Greek crisis in 2011 that led to the fall of the government of George Papandreou, and the second in January this year, days before the elections that brought SYRIZA to power.
