Yanis Varoufakis, former Greek finance minister, says the “repeated failure of the European powers” to utilise opportunities to create common policies has resulted in a failed union which is “essentially reproducing misery”.

He’s been saying this for at least 10 years. 😂
-
He speaks a lot of sense, This guy. If he was not Greek he would be respected and listened to more.
-
"I don't harbour great expectations for the Starmer government." 🤣😭

Yanis U are wasting your valued breath. Those with eyes shall see and those with ears shall hear. People refuse to see danger even when U bring it to their door step
-
The Greeks were terribly treated by the French and Germans.
-
Most Europeans don’t want to be governed by a superstate from Brussels. Common debts and taxation from Brussels would be horrible.
-
Keep talking Yanis, you'll find it more difficult to change the world than it is to change Greece.
-
Europe is too diverse for a Federal European state. As we’ve seen when a few ideological elites try to force their idea of democracy and it has failed.
-
Read many of the comments and I am shocked. Hate to ruin your dreams of EU perfection but he is right about so much especially economic models of Germany and France.
-
Reminds me of what Marc Twain said. "THE RUMOURS OF MY DEMISE ARE EXAGERATED". Easy to say Europe is dead. My friends are always predicting the end of the financial world but even broken clocks tell the right time twice a day.
-
"The EU has failed" and yet every European country is trying to get into it. This guy cannot accept that Greece was a basket case and expected Germany to bail it out on a permanent basis. They were just not collecting taxes and yet paying out generous pensions.
-
I used to like him but hes just, a pay-for-waffle at this stage. Completely irrelevant.
-
Hallelujah!!!! The daily jesus devotional has been a huge part of my transformation, God is good 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻was owning a loan of $47,000 to the bank for my son's brain surgery (David), Now I'm no longer in debt after I invested $8,000 and got my payout of $270,500 every months,God bless Christy Fiore 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸..

Europe was better before the EU .....At the very least, it was more European than it is now.
-
He says what he has to stay revelant
-
I'm Greek. He says these nonsense since 2011-2012 😂😂😂. The man who placed the grave stone 🪨 on Greek economy in 2014-2015.
-
Victim hood. Love the Greece people but they never moved on from the post war period and were to relaxed about everything.......tax collection for one.
-
He's a bit bitter, isn't he?
-
What a clown 😂
-
This guy is sooooooo overrated, it's always other people's fault, what a cry baby.
