Mr. Varoufakis is clearly an intelligent man and better still a genuine man of honour. I sincerely hope that he has a huge part to play in the future of Europe.

At least we still have people like Mr. Yanis Varoufakis and Mr. Bernie Sanders in the world - we gotta support the likes of them!

I like him. He's a man! He's not putting his tail between his legs like so many other EU leaders.

Yanis is amazing -who is this girl attempting to conduct this interview...obviously out of her depth

Indeed we need a constitution. Since this crisis I have been thinking that. The fail of that around 2000 was a desaster. Hopefully it will come rather quick.

I know Mr Varoufakis wanted Britain to stay in the EU but every time he speaks it's been a party political broadcast for BREXIT. He seems like an honourable man.

'Did you feel out of your depth in those discussions?' - The guy is a university professor and clearly a brilliant mind. Why would he feel out of his depth with a bunch of bureaucrats and bean counters? What a stupid question.

There should be cameras there, the EU should be transparent to its members.

In what place does interview take place?
@justinneill5003 7 years ago

That looks like the rooftop pool bar of the Ledra Marriott on Sygrou Avenue. Been to many conferences there, and that's where we always ended up.
