Yanis Varoufakis, Minister of the Economy.



Here's a link to today's BBC News page, including an interview with the greek minister of the economy, explaining why he has not been able to sign an agreement with the EU.

It has implications not only for greeks but for all europeans, especially those heavily burdened with debt, such as Spain, (and Ireland.)

Scroll down the page to the video, and use it to answer the questions below. 

What was his government elected to do?
What were they not interested in?
The UE offered 'some flexibility.' What does that mean?
What possible interpretations does Mr. Varoufakis offer?
What was the greek government offering?
What has been the result?
What happens next?
What does the greek government want?
What will they agree upon?
What does the minister say noone has a right to do?

See you on Thursday.

  1. Hello Tom, I think the link is not right. When I click on it, it appears a bbc article with two videos but any of them is an interview with Yanis Varoufakis
