Fairly brutal

Forbes (via Fefe): „After a prolonged week of drama, Athens finally seemed to accept the terms of the new bail-out package. Too bad the groom may have walked off from the altar. Germany’s response to the Greek ‚Yes‘ has been fairly brutal.“

Jetzt kommts: „Fascinatingly, Schäuble also discussed Portugal today. His precise comments: “If necessary, an adjustment of the Portuguese programme will be prepared”. This would seem to imply Germany is already thinking about a new Portugal bail-out even as it rejects the latest Greek proposals harshly.“

Schäuble redet im Video in Englisch (die Untertitel sind portugiesich). Für ihn sind „das Parlament“ und die „öffentliche Meinung“ das Problem.
