Syriza MP: Grexit is not on the cards
What are the chances of Greece still being in the eurozone in one year, or five years?
Yanis Varoufakis MP (and finance minister in waiting?) insists that Greece will stick with the euro:.
We who are in the eurozone must not toy with loose or fast talk about Grexit or fragmentation. If that happens, disruptive forces would be unleashed.
Grexit is not on the cards, he adds. We will not go to Brussels in a spirit of confrontation. There is plenty of room for mutual benefit, including those in Britain.

Syriza MP Yanis Varoufakis says his party will show Europe a plan that cuts the cost of this debt debacle to the average German, the average Slovak, who is even poorer than the average Greek.
What details can you give us?
Varoufakis cites three priorities:
- Genuine reforms to end Greek bureaucracy and tax immunity.
- A rational plan for debt restructuring, so Ponzi Austerity ends.
- Don’t want to pay back less than we can, but this schedule is “completely unrealistic” and unconnected from growth.
We want to bind our repayments to our growth. We have a humanitarion crisis... people sleeping on the streets. It is “preposterous” that any sensible European could deprive us of the money we need.
