In an interview with the Athens News Agency, Austrian economist and outgoing chief of the Eurogroup Working Group (EWG) Thomas Wieser blames Greek politicians for the 2008 financial crisis in the country and confirms he supports Greek debt relief.
Asked whether the Greek financial crisis should have been handled differently, Wieser notes that Greece’s fiscal situation from the beginning of its membership in the Eurozone and even before was not what it should have been and claims that the Greek politicians of the time should be asked how the country ended up with a deficit of 15.6% of GDP.
