“I believe we are close to an agreement. The most important is for it to be done correctly. Not only to sign whatever agreement in order to have an agreement but to manage to achieve something that will be a genuine growth model for Greece ” said Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis speaking to euronews on Saturday and expressed the certainty that the differences with the institutions can be bridged.
Asked if some of his colleagues in the Eurogroup referred to a plan B if the negotiations fail, Varoufakis said “It is true that one of my colleagues in the Eurogroup, unintentionally, probably from anger, referred to that.
My immediate answer was to say that there is no plan B, there can’t be a plan B and whatever reference to a plan B is clearly anti-European and finally against the interests of the particular country which is represented by the particular colleague’.
Yanis Varoufakis also referred to the liquidity problem “The fact that in the last two years we received liquidity injections in regular periods, only added more fuel to the fire. What is of vital importance is to put a halt to this vicious circle and to create a healthy circle. That means that for a little while, and for as long as these important negotiations continue we are under pressure regarding the liquidity issue, let it be. It is an investment for a better future for Greece and for a better future for Europe” concluded Varoufakis
