Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis told French magazine ‘Nouvel Observateur’ that by accepting the terms of the 3rd Greek bailout plan the country had essentially entered a path of exiting the Eurtozone, a day before Greek PM Alexis Tsipras announced snap elections.
He continued by underlining that the Greek government had ‘betrayed the trust of the Greek people’. The self-proclaimed ‘radical marxists’ made it clear that he did not intend to run for election with a party whose platform was based on implementing the July 13 agreement.
