Reference to Greece is the lengthy interview with the French President, Francois Hollande, the Suddeutsche Zeitung.

In observation of the journalist that the complaint in France expressed, as in Brussels, that appears very weak and submissive to the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, Mr. Hollande replied: "France was the one that pushed Germany to change its positions without itself wants, for example in the banking union. Another example is Greece. France was the one that showed it would cost Greece's exit from the euro. Germany, for its part, has helped to delineate the rules and obligations, which, moreover, the Greek prime minister, Alexis Tsipras, complied. " "Were you able to stop Mr. Schäuble?" Insisted the reporter. "Say you got it alone," said the French President. "I could brag, but it would not be the right method.
