The words "cake" and "eat it" spring to mind

Greek govt spokesman on the wires

  • Greece does what it needs to be done each time a payment is due
  • Greece wants to reach a deal to ease liquidity

Elsewhere on Greece spewing forth this morning is a govt statement saying that it respects the central bank's independence

And now another statement saying that Varoufakis was misquoted on earlier comments re ECB bonds

This from the Varouka himself on Twitter

"I spoke of a possible ESM-mediated repayment of ECB's SMP GGBs and some journos report I announced....non-payment. Astonishing propaganda!''
