Varoufakis über die Verhandlungen in der Eurogruppe: “I try and talk economics in the Eurogroup – which nobody does. – It’s not that it didn’t go down well – there was point blank refusal to engage in economic arguments. Point blank. You put forward an argument that you’ve really worked on, to make sure it’s logically coherent, and you’re just faced with blank stares. It is as if you haven’t spoken. What you say is independent of what they say. You might as well have sung the Swedish national anthem – you’d have got the same reply.” Sein Befund deckt sich mit den Reportage der Eurogruppenminister, die sinngemäss berichteten, Varoufakis habe sie mit seinem professoralen Gehabe und elendslangen akademischen Vorträgen genervt. Genervt. Klar. Sie haben kein Wort verstanden.
