Varoufakis undermining Greek negotiations, says Mitsotakis

New Democracy?s parliamentary spokesman Kyriakos Mitsotakis has accused Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis of being a danger to Greece.

The Finance Ministry was forced on Sunday to deny a report in Corierre della Serra newspaper that Varoufakis had claimed the government would call a referendum on euro membership if its eurozone partners reject its reform proposals.

?Every time he opens his mouth, he creates a problem for the country?s negotiating position,? said Mitsotakis. ?He has managed something unique: To unite the whole of Europe behind Wolfgang Schaeuble.?

Mitsotakis said Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras should replace Varoufakis as soon as possible.
