The German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble, said in Istanbul, after the close of the financial G20, that if Greece “does not meet the agreed conditions, can not get another installment (Rescue)” .
“You can not force Greece to accept a new program. And if you do not want, for nothing. But then neither may request further negotiations,” the German minister told a press.
Given information emerged today in the German press about an alleged “agreement financial bridge” between the European Commission and Greece for several months, Schäuble was blunt in saying that it is “false”.
“First, I know nothing about this, and second, the Commission is not the entity responsible for this,” he said.
“Tomorrow we will have a meeting at the Eurogroup and there, Minister Greek Finance (Yanis Varufakis) will present their ideas, listen quietly you have to tell us if that tells us something, I think so I spoke, “Schäuble moved
.” with Greek colleagues and I think the rules are clear. The extremely serious situation in Greece, only Greece is to blame “ said.
” Having already too many debts in the financial market, Greece lost access to markets, so we stepped into the breach, and a fundamental renegotiation first have to pass the Bundestag, “insisted the German minister.
Accepted” can not keep calling Troika “the three institutions -Commission European Central Bank European and IMF International said that since late 2012 supervise the Greek political “because Greece is a word with bad connotations and can meet this sensitivity.”
However, hinted that the conditions imposed by this entity would remain valid, including an extra two months, agreed in December to meet the planned measures.
“If I compare this with what you said Athens now, does not match at all,” he complained.
But softened somewhat his sharp recalling his recent meeting with his Greek counterpart, Yanis Varufakis posture.
“A politician who gets the confidence of the population in a campaign electoral have respect; it is also an economist with their studies; has unusual ideas, but can be discussed, “he admitted Schäuble.
” It’s a civilized person who has very different to my own ideas, but I think I’ve been able to explain our vision, “he reiterated.
Regarding the rejection that the position of Germany leads in several countries of southern Europe, Schäuble said: “We found a platform that worked until today, but getting understanding among the population and majority in parliament is not easy. It is easy to argue against it, but that, unfortunately, does not change much from the facts. “
