Germany is trying to humiliate Greece by bringing new demands for a bailout deal, Dimitrios Papadimoulis, Vice-President of the European Parliament and member of Greece's ruling Syriza party, said today.
Highlighting the depth of reluctance to grant another rescue to Greece, Germany's finance ministry put forward a paper yesterday demanding stronger Greek measures or a five-year "time-out" from the euro zone that looked like a disguised expulsion.
"What is at play here is an attempt to humiliate Greece and Greeks, or to overthrow the (Prime Minister Alexis) Tsipras government," Papadimoulis told Mega TV.
