02:31Germany: Varoufakis celebrates 'sleepless nights' of politicians hit by Panama Papers
Former Greek Minister of Finance Yannis Varoufakis declared that he was "very pleased that there are some people that do not sleep at night these days" in fear that their secrets would be revealed, when asked about the Panama Papers in Hanover, Tuesday.
Varoufakis, recently himself accused of having an offshore bank account in Oman, reacted ironically to the allegations, saying he "also killed Christ" and "started the famine in China. It is equally credible. I do not have an offshore account anywhere. It is all rubbish."
Varoufakis was in Hanover to speak at an event for left-wing party Die Linke. He recently launched his new political project Democracy in Europe Movement 25, or DiEM25. The pan-European political platform advances an agenda of reform within the European Union, calling for greater democratic oversight by citizens, a re-fashioning of the common currency, and measures to tackle growing economic inequality.
