Schaeuble’s plan paved the way for Varoufakis’ Plan X

Varoufakis' plan clearly referred to open the bank safety deposit boxes and use the money

Newsroom January 30 11:02

Former Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis revealed a few days ago the existence of a Plan X for returning to drachma current in a coordinated way. This revelation brought also in light unknown frictions caused among Greek government’s members and SYRIZA ministers’ intentions to conduct a raid at bank safety deposit boxes in order to measure the money and impose extraordinary taxes to ensure liquidity.

According to reliable sources, the plan suggested by the former Minister of Finance clearly referred to open the bank safety deposit boxes and use the money to ensure Greece’s liquidity of the country for a considerable period of time.

As some sources say, there were some ministers that supported that plan, but others were against, like the leader of Independent Greeks, Panos Kamenos.

But, one of the main factors that led the government to continue drafting the Plan X was German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble’s plan for Greece’s exit from euro zone for at least 5 years, while in return EU would give Greece 50 billion euros for humanitarian and technical assistance.
