VENGEFUL eurogroup ministers forced Greece’s finance minister to resign yesterday after voters said No to austerity and yes to democracy.
In a blog yesterday Yanis Varoufakis said that Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras had come under pressure from the group of eurozone foreign ministers to ditch him in favour of a more “moderate” and “sensible” replacement.
