The Bank of Greece warns of the dramatic consequences of a possible rupture with the creditors, deposit flight from Greek banks amounts to millions of euro every day.
He went so far as to state that the probability of Greek banks closing for a certain period did not bother him, arguing that a very small number of SYRIZA voters had bank deposits.
The Greek Prime Minister assured his interlocutors that he aimed not to direct the talks towards rupture but he rather expected that creditors would give way to the government request to restructure the debt.
The online edition of the largest German national daily Süddeutsche Zeitung has published a shocking scenario, referring to sources from Berlin and Brussels.
At a time when the creditors are stressing that Athens is the one that must take action to overcome the obstacles to reaching an agreement, the Greek Minister of Finance has found time for interviews too.
