Schauble - Varoufakis presser - highlights....
#Varoufakis "It's up to Eurogroup to come up with bridging program" #Greece
#Varoufakis when asked about the conditions in current programme that Greek gov't cannot fulfill: "I could go on forever."
VAROUFAKIS: "WE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN OUR POWER TO AVOID DEFAULT"
MNI: VAROUFAKIS: WE DON'T HAVE IMMEDIATE RIGHT TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAM
#Varoufakis: "Our proposal is that there should be a bridging program between now and May so we can agree new contract" #Greece
Once again, @yanisvaroufakis says #Greece will let current bailout lapse at end of month. Most important substantive statement yet.
WOW. Varoufakis compares Greece's condition to Germany before the rise of Hitler. Says Germany should be able to relate.
#Varoufakis "As we are suffering deflationary debt crisis, no other nation can understand us like the Germans" #Greece

VAROUFAKIS: GRAND ERROR WAS SOLD VIA A LIST OF REFORMS; THAT FAILURE IS THE REASON WE ARE HERE TODAY
#Varoufakis "Greeks want to end indignity & Germans want to end having to end negotiating each twist and turn" #Greece
Schaeuble: "We agree to disagree"
Varoufakis "We didn't even agree to disagree"
This could be a long one #Greece
#Varoufakis "We didn't discuss Greece's debt schedule & haircut. We discussed how to end this seemingly never-ending crisis" #Greece
Schäuble: "We agreed the haircut is not on the agenda". #Greece #Varoufakis
Who lent the money again? German finance minister Schäuble says Greece is to blame for its problems, not Europe.
SCHAEUBLE SAYS HAVE GONE TO THE LEGAL LIMITS IN PROVIDING AID for insolvent banks
#Schäuble: A difficult question as to how Greece can access market financing without bailout programme - No agreement on this today.
#Schaeuble "If program were to be changed, there would be a need for an agreement for all parties involved" #Greece
#Schäuble: Cannot change some #eurozone polices without treaty changes - need the sovereign backing of voters (i.e. not to fiscal transfers)
Schäuble: Varoufakis has told me that the reversal of reforms is not decided. | Really?
I am sceptical of some of the measures announced by Greece, says Schäuble. Some measures don’t go in the direction we want to see.
#Schäuble: We respect the Greek voters - but we also respect the voters in other #Eurozone countries. #Greece
#Schaeuble "Some of the measures announced by Greek gov't are going in right direction: Taxes & fighting corruption" #Greece
#Schaeuble "#Greece has to cooperate with the three institutions that formed the program, the Commission, ECB & IMF"
Schäuble: #Greece belongs to the euro
Schäuble: We have agreed that roots of #Greece's problems lied in Greece itself not in Europe and not in Germany.
#Schäuble: I always remind my colleagues not to forget how difficult it has been for the Greek people.

Greece's Efimerida ton Syntakton calls ECB decision: "Psychological warfare by the ECB chief - Everything "staged by Berlin & Merkel govt."
Yes, I can confirm that the so-called bailout of #Greece was actually a bailout of largely #German #French banks - Public bailout of Private
#Greek reaction to ECB decision to restrict liquidity: Conservative paper Eleftheros Typos calls it - "The Draghi Bomb."
