Därför avgår Varoufakis
Hans finansministerkollegor i EU har blivit irriterad på honom. Han har nämligen använt dyrbar förhandlingstid till att förklara för dem att åtstramning inte leder till tillväxt och att s.k. strukturreformer, som höjning av momsen på elström, inte heller fixar Greklands ekonomi.

For this reason I am leaving the Ministry of Finance today,” he wrotein a blogpost, explaining his resignation.
