Schaeuble offered Varoufakis a… piece of chocolate

Diplomatic games by the German FinMin

German magazine Spiegel states that Wolfgang Schaeuble received Greek FinMin Varoufakis with a… piece of chocolate, during their meeting, on Monday.

The German FinMin had a box of chocolates bearing the euro, on his desk. He had been gifted them in a children’s TV show. Thus, Mr. Schaeuble offered one to “Yanis”, saying that “It’s good for your nerves. You’re going to need it”.

It seems Forrest Gump was right after all, life’s like a box of chocolates, you never know what you’re going to get.
