Turnabout. Or rather belied dry. The German Government denies having changed its position about a possible Greek exit from the euro, as written by Spiegel Saturday. “There is no change of course,” said the agency dpa, the deputy spokesman Georg Streiter.

No Comment German government

Neither the Court nor the Finance Ministry have declined to comment on what is written by the German weekly. A spokesman for the Ministry has postponed the statements made recently by Schauble, who urged Athens to not abandon the policy of reforms.
