“The
Greek ambassador in Berlin presented a demarche to the German Foreign
ministry late on Tuesday in order to express Athens’ displeasure
over German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble’s critical
statements against Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis.”
“Speaking
to German reporters after a Eurogroup session on Monday, Schaeuble
referred to Greece’s finance minister as 'foolishly naive' in
matters of communication.”
“Foreign
ministry officials were asked by Proto Thema if Schaeuble called
Varoufakis 'naively silly' or 'suddenly naive'. The latter
translation was provided by the New York Times. The Forieign Ministry
believes that, either way, the comments were derogatory within the
context in which they were expressed.”
