Athens has
“plan B” in case the EU does not resume its financial aid to
Greece, Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis said in an interview
with the Rossiya 24 TV channel.
“I
think that at the referendum Greeks will say their 'no' to the
blackmail Europe is now applying to us. After that the banks will
re-open and everything will be fine. If our people say their definite
'no' to this blackmail, but Europe does not change its attitude and
does not resume financing, we have 'plan B'. The lack of money from
the EU is not the end. There are other sources as well,”
Lafazanis says.
He refused
to disclose any details of the plan. He said he hopes that that the
solution will be found.
“But if
this does not happen, I can assure you that we will have an
opportunity to get out of this situation as the winners. We have not
officially asked anyone for assistance, but any helping hand for us
now would not be unwanted, and primarily from Russia. This would be
very helpful for us,” The Greek minister said.

Good to know. It least it tells us that we shouldn't feel bad about not resuming financial support for Greece when it chooses the "No" option and will have no other option than to leave the Eurozone.
