[01] Report of eurozone exit ridiculed
(ÁÍÁ-ÌPA) -- The government on Friday categorically denied a report in
the webpage of the German magazine "Der Spiegel", according to which
Greece is considering its exit from the eurozone.
According to government sources, the report on the country's exit from
the euro, apart from being untrue, is written with frivolity, despite
the fact that it has been categorically denied by the Greek government
and by other eurozone member-states. Such reports, according to the
same = sources, undermine the effort of Greece and of the entire
eurozone and serve profiteering and speculation.
Meanwhile, a spokesman for Eurogroup President Jean-Claude Juncker
denied, in statements to the ANA-MPA in Brussels, the Der Spiegel
report, which claimed that an urgent meeting was scheduled on Friday
evening in Luxembourg to purportedly discuss Greece's exit from the
eurozone.
"There is no such meeting," Guy Soulere said, clarifying that according
to his knowledge, German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble was not in Luxembourg, as the German magazine claimed in its report. (ÁÍÁ-ÌPA)
