German Economy Minister Philipp Roesler on Sunday reiterated his doubts about whether debt-mired Greece would be able to stay in the eurozone, saying the “horror” of a potential exit had worn off. Roesler told ARD public television that Athens’ partners would wait for the progress report of the troika of Greek creditors the European Union, International Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank. “Nevertheless I have to say I am more than sceptical,” said Roesler, who is also head of the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP), junior partners in Merkel’s centre-right coalition government. “Unfortunately it is likely that Greece will not be able to fulfil (the troika’s) requirements.
Oh the horror!
