(Bloomberg) -- German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble
criticized the Greek government’s decision to abruptly quit
negotiations on an aid deal as “confusing” and “depressing,”
in an interview with ZDF television’s Heute Journal program.
* “That a government then suddenly stands up from the
negotiating table after the prime minister had sat together
with the state and government leaders, the German chancellor
and many others had gone to endless lengths, and then goes
home and does the complete opposite. That’s somehow not just
confusing but also depressing in such a difficult
situation.”
* NOTE: Euro Chiefs Turn to Damage Control as Greek Talks
