Yanis Varoufakis Guerilla Interview Part 1

In his brief 7-month tenure as finance minister of Greece, Yanis Varoufakis became one of the most prominent figures in Europe, as the leader of the newly elected radical left government’s negotiations with its lenders, the European Central Bank (ECB), the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Commission, collectively known as the troika. When the government’s attempt at reaching an agreement that would change the harsh austerity terms imposed on Greece in the previous bailouts failed, Varoufakis left two conflicting legacies: as a modern European folk hero to some and as the sign of utter destruction to others. • In his talk with AthensLive, Varoufakis comments on some of his experiences with SYRIZA’s leadership – Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras, Vice-President Yannis Dragasakis and his successor in the ministry, Euclid Tsakalotos – as well as the ECB’s president Mario Draghi, Germany’s chancellor Angela Merkel and finance minister Wolfgang Schauble, the IMF’s head, Christine Lagarde and its chief technocrats, Poul Thomsen and Delia Velculescu. He also considers the current situation in Greece and shares his thoughts on Europe’s future, as rough times are all but in the past. • If you enjoyed this video, consider donating to help us produce more like it.
