German ambassador: Grexit belongs to the past
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
There is no issue of a Grexit, German ambassador to Greece Peter Schoof said on Tuesday while stressing the importance of supporting Greece on the refugee issue in order to protect the Schengen zone, speaking at an event organised by the "Center for Democracy and Reconciliation in Southeast Europe."
"The issue of Grexit belongs to the past. Neither the German Chancellor not the German Finance Minister wanted that," Schoof stated and added:
Schoof cleared out that the single currency was not a mistake. "Within the framework of the geopolitics, it was a correct idea. But these deficiencies are now obvious and we did not work sufficiently in order to correct them."
Referring to the refugee issue, he stressed that "if the EU borders cannot bear any more pressure, the Schengen treaty will somehow come to naught."
