Exclusive: Greece's Varoufakis Set To Blow Whistle On Germany's Worrying Plan For Europe
• True ActivistIn an article due to be published in popular German newspaper Die Zeit this coming Thursday, Greek ex-Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis will accuse Germany of hiding the truth about its real aims for Europe, and say his country's exit from the single currency is all part of a plan hatched a long time ago to 'discipline' countries who do not do as they are told. Varoufakis has written an op-ed in order to address Germany's citizens directly. He will name German Finance Minister Dr. Wolfgang Schäuble as the man behind a conspiracy to re-structure the Eurozone in a way which favors banks over citizens and plutocracy over democracy.
First, a short summary of recent events (you can read the full back story here): Yanis Varoufakis was forced out of office earlier this month after his party Syriza called a referendum, asking the people of Greece whether they wanted to stay in the Eurozone (meaning more debt and more austerity) or say no to more bailout funds and face the consequences. The Greek people, tired of economic suffering at the hands of European bankers, voted against austerity and further cash injections from the Troika (the EC, ECB and IMF). This result was something which Varoufakis and Prime Minister Alexis Tspiras considered a victory- and yet hours later, Varoufakis had resigned, claiming that powerful figures within the Eurozone had refused to negotiate with Greece further while he was in office.
