The Greek Finance Ministry has issued a statement following a Reuters report on Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis, entitled “Isolated in debt talks, Greek finance rebel gets the cold shoulder.”
The article claimed that Varoufakis has become isolated from his European counterparts, adding that he did not attend the gala dinner for the European Finance Ministers on Friday. “He is completely isolated,” a senior Eurozone official told Reuters. “He didn’t even come to the dinner to represent his country,” the official added.
According to the Ministry’s statement, Varoufakis chose to attend Thursday’s dinner where he properly represented his country. However, the Greek Finance Minister did not attend the Friday gala because “he finds such events boring and he preferred the company of his friends and close associates with whom he had a much better time.”
