Варуфакис: Тачър не би направила приватизация като предишното правителство

The Greek government plans to impose minimum investment levels, as well as labour and environmental standards on any winning bids for privatisations in Greece, Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis said while speaking at the Brookings Institute in Washington DC, Thursday. Varoufakis criticised selling public assets during a depression "when asset prices are through the floor", stating that "we're not against privatisation, we're against this kind of firesale that doesn't even dent, even a little bit, our debt situation". The Greek Finance Minister added that "I don't think that Mrs. [Margaret] Thatcher would do privatisations the way the previous government did".
