The former Greek finance minister, Yannis Varoufakis, has reinvented himself as a sponsor of the WikiLeaks campaign to raise €100,000. The sum will be used to disseminate the trade agreement between the US and the European Union (TTIP).
As reported by WikiLeaks, Yannis Varoufakis was among the first to chip in on the campaign. Incidentally, Julian Assange got immediate support from people like British designer Vivienne Westwood, Belarusian journalist and writer Evgeny Morozov and American journalist Glenn Greenwald.
They have donated undisclosed amounts, but €12,000 had already been raised just a few hours after the initiative's launch.
The former finance minister, now a SYRIZA MP, called for participation in the campaign through posts in Twitter. In one of them he wrote, "Transparency needs a helping hand in the Eurozone, but also in trade (TTIP) negotiations that affect it."
