Schaeuble Says Germany Won't Be Blackmailed by New Greek Government
30-Jan-2015
By Andreas Kissler

BERLIN--German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble on Friday said the rules attached to European financial aid for Greece "can't just be broken" and warned Athens that Berlin won't be blackmailed by the new leftist government.

"We're prepared for any discussions at any time, but the basis can't be changed," the minister said at an insurance industry event in Berlin. "Furthermore we are averse to blackmail."

Mr. Schaeuble called the conditions of the previously agreed aid package for Greece "exceptionally generous" and said decisions on the issue of Greece's debt made by European finance ministers were designed to be lasting.

"In this framework we're prepared for co-operation and solidarity, but only in this framework and in no other," the minister said.

Since winning Greece's elections Sunday, the left-wing Syriza party of the new Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras has taken a defiant stance toward Europe, insisting on debt relief from fellow eurozone members and, most recently, colliding with European partners on the issue of a common approach to Russia.

The government has also made clear its intention to roll back a series of overhauls--from privatizations to cuts in the minimum wage--that Greece undertook in exchange for a European-led 240 billion euros ($272.33 billion) bailout.

Even that social mentality of Greece is similar to Turkey they are not pro-fundamental Islamists as is Turkey.

Aside why are you insulting those nice guys with lederhosen?

Did you visit there? tyrol.com

Or may be they remember the 300 years of warfare that ended up with the defeat of the Ottoman Empire at the Battle of Kahlenberg Mountain. en.wikipedia.org

Or may be they see what is going on in Germany with the great influx of Turkish people and the results of what has happening in France by young men born and raised in France
