It was a tough weekend (again) for Greece’s embattled FinMin Yanis Varoufakis. After walking out on a CNBC interview when asked if he was a liability (after his photo shoot caused a storm in Greece), a video surfaced showing the outspoken minister giving the middle finger to Germany saying “solve the problem yourself.” He has come out swinging this morning, as The Telegraph reports, Varoufakis exclaims, “That video was doctored. I’ve never given the finger, I’ve never given the middle finger ever.” However, the user who uploaded it to YouTube denied it was a fake and, based on The Telegraph’s poll, 67% believe Varoufakis did it. Furthemore, the German talk-show that aired the clip has confirmed “no evidence of manipulation or falsification,” and, for the first time, a majority of Germans now want Greece out of the union.
