Government spokesman expresses support for FinMin Varoufakis in reply to ND
"The government supports the finance minister amid the targeted and directed attacks against him," government spokesman Gavriil Sakellaridis said on Monday (27/04), replying to a statement by main opposition New Democracy's spokesman Costas Karagounis.
"We fully agree with Mr. Karagounis that Mr. Varoufakis....and the policy he represents is the choice of this government," he added.
Earlier, Karagounis had attacked the government, saying that Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis was chosen by the government and that Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras was now "trapped" by his choice, because an attempt to distance himself or kick out Varoufakis would be tantamount to admitting failure in the negotiations.
