No differences on Greece between Merkel, Schaeuble: spokesman
BERLIN (Reuters) - There are no differences of opinion on Greece between German Chancellor Angela Merkel and her finance minister, Wolfgang Schaeuble, a government spokesman said on Wednesday.
"Between the chancellor and the finance minister there is no difference in views on Greece," spokesman Steffen Seibert told reporters.
He was responding to a question about a signal Merkel gave to some German lawmakers at a briefing on Monday that she was ready to talk to Athens about how to ease Greece's debt burden, according to several participants. This is something Schaeuble has repeatedly ruled out.
