Günther Jauch

European Parliament President Martin Schulz told a national television audience in Germany on Sunday evening that he called Chancellor Angela Merkel earlier, with both agreeing to do whatever they can to keep Greece in the Eurozone.

A video showing Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis making the middle-finger gesture to Germany does not appear to be fake, a German talk show said Monday after the Greek politician contested its authenticity.

Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis spoke with ARD presenter Günther Jauch and addressed a number of issues concerning Greek debt. During the interview he also addressed a recent video that appears to show Varoufakis sticking his middle finger to hypothetical German officials during a speech he made in Zagreb in 2013, just two years he became Greek finance minister.
