Wolfgang Schäuble, Germany’s frank and outspoken finance minister, says the lack of progress is increasing the chances of an accidental Greek exit from the euro – a “Grexident”.
He also said the onus was on Greece to help itself.
Asked by the Austrian broadcaster ORF about the prospect of a Grexident, Schäuble said:
As the responsibility, the possibility to decide what happens only lies with Greece, and because we don’t exactly know what those in charge in Greece are doing, we can’t rule out.
