Varoufakis: My mom was a right wing terrorist

This time he chose to give an interview to German magazine STERN, during which proceeded to incredible revelations about his parents.

Indeed, the title of the article is “My mother was a member of a far-right terrorist organization" and cites descriptions of Yanis Varoufakis about how his parents met. As he reportedly said his mother was a member of a far-right terrorist organization and was responsible for spying on his father and that's how they met.

Highlights of the interview in Stern:

On the parallel currency: "On this matter I built my academic career. Of course, the introduction of a parallel currency is not easy, as it needs the necessary resources. What you need to have is knowledge. Our main goal in these 'mind games' was to strengthen our negotiating position.”

He says he felt that he was participating in a war: "An economic war. Nowadays you do not need to get into tanks to defeat someone. Since January we had a group of "war". Five-six people were dealing with the Grexit scenario.” However, he denies ever thinking a break with Europe. "We are not adventurers," he said.

On Schäuble: "He always sought a psychological war. He could at any time explode and become very nippy. I saw once again at a Eurogroupmeeting when he sharply attackd Deisenbloum. He never did this to me, he was always friendly. I appreciate Mr. Schaeuble. He knows very well what he wants and saysso openly: he wants an authoritarian Europe and much less welfare state ".

On game theory: "In this game I was naked and Schaeuble was a gladiator who brought heavy weapons. You can be as smart as you want, but when your opponent is in a tank it will not help anything. Even if you have the best arguments. "

On Sigmar Gabriel: "I am disappointed with his attitude. At first I felt that I was speaking to almost a member of SYRIZA, a comrade. And then everything changed. It was something unbelievable. "

On his family: "I feel a political animal. This has to do with my family. " He says that his father spent four years in exile during the Civil War and suffered serious torture. "He refused to denounce the Communists. He was a liberal, educated and inspired by the spirit of the French Revolution. "

Also, he says an uncle was sentenced to capital punishment during the junta, while his mother, he says, "was a member of an extreme right-wing terrorist organization and hated leftists. One of her responsibilities was to spy on his father, so they met. "
