In an interview to the French site Revue-Ballast former FinMin Y.Varoufakis spoke about LAE, the party that was formed by those SYRIZA MP΄s who decided not to vote the 3rd memorandum.
“At present I don't think that the current elections will form a majority for a crucial political reform and this makes me very sad. I wish good luck to LAE, yet I don't always agree with their goals”.
“We have a lot in common, our worries, our practices, our ideas and our ideologies but I feel that they tend towards separatism. They have the tendency to turn the drachma into an end rather than a means”.
“Furthermore they lack something that is most important in my view; they lack the deeply set need, the feeling, the sense, the political necessity to be a part and a member of the rest of Europe. That is my feeling and that is the reason that I cannot follow them”.
