Varoufakis announcement shows there was no 'drachma plan', gov't sources say

"What is made abundantly clear by Mr. Varoufakis' announcement is that there was no plan or strategy for a return to the drachma," government sources commented on Monday, in response to the announcement posted by former finance minister Yanis Varoufakis on his website.

As also confirmed by the statements made by Professor James Galbraith, there was only a report on the possible repercussions of euro exit, in the case of attempts to blackmail Greece by forcing it out of the eurozone, the sources said.

The prime minister had referred to the existence of this report during a recent interview on state television, they added.
