Athens, September 9, 2011
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance of Greece, Mr. Evangelos Venizelos, commented on the rumors about a possible Greek default this coming weekend, as follows:
It is not the first time that we see an organized wave of “rumors” about an upcoming Greek default. This is a game of a very bad taste, an orchestrated speculation that is targeting the euro and the Euro Area as a whole.
Greece’s fundamental choice and priority is to fully and entirely implement the July 21 decisions and, of course, to wholly fulfill its obligations that derive from the agreements reached between Greece and its partners.
