While speaking to journalist Nikos Chatzinikolaou on Monday night on the television talk show "ston eniko" live, Greek Finance Minister Yianis Varoufakis revealed that German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schauble had told him that he did not envy his position when they had first met.
"Who would have liked to be finance minister of Greece in the last 50 years?", Varoufakis asked as he stressed the difficulties ahead, and in particular the scheduled repayment of bonds in next July and August.
He said that Schauble had initially “disagreed" with his views that the "Greek debt should be restructured”. He did add, however, that the relationship between both men "is good"and that there is "mutual respect“ on a personal level as well.
