German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle ruled out any renegotation of Greece’s budget austerity programme in an interview published Saturday.
“I see desires emerging in Greece to renegotiate and substantially question the country’s obligations to carry out reforms. I have to say simply, that will not do. It is a Rubicon that we are not going to cross,” Westerwelle told the daily Bild.
He called on Athens to clearly demonstrate that it wanted to remain in the eurozone. “Greece must not just say that it wants to stay in the eurozone, but must also implement a clear policy of reforms and keep its commitments,” he added.
