The Greek Minister of Finances Yanis Varoufakis told Irish radio station RTÉ that the latest proposals submitted to the institutions were “very reasonable”.
The Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan has been critical of Greece’s stance in the negotiations, to which Mr. Varoufakis responded that the Irish government has been kept in the dark about the Greek offers.
«If your finance minister and I were to sit down and I were to explain my proposals […] Michael Noonan would agree that they are very reasonable» he commented.
Mr. Varoufakis explained that while Greece has an “absolute commitment” to remain the Eurozone, he noted that the country has bent over backwards in order to accommodate “strange demands” of the country’s creditors.
He then argued that it would be absurd to carry out any further pensions cuts and stressed that Greece will not accept any debt solution which is not sustainable.
