« C’est une décision attristante… »

Euro-area finance chiefs poured scorn on the Greek government’s decision to call a referendum on the terms of the country’s bailout and said the door was closing to any further discussion on resolving a standoff over aid.

Finance chiefs from 18 euro nations said they would grill their Greek counterpart, Yanis Varoufakis, on what his government proposed after the sudden announcement of a referendum upended their work on the way forward for Greece. They are meeting in Brussels on Saturday hours after Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras called a July 5 ballot on whether Greece should accept the demands of the country’s creditors.

“It’s a very sad decision for Greece because it’s closed the door to further talks, a door that was still open in my mind,” Jeroen Dijsselbloem, the Dutch finance minister who chairs the meetings, told reporters as he arrived. “We will hear from the Greek minister today and then decide on the future consequences.”

Qu’y a -t-il d’attristant ou de méprisable à consulter le peuple sur ce qu’il accepte ou n’accepte pas? Est ce le principe de la consultation? Ou le précédent que cela instaure? Madame Frexit doit en effet jubiler.
