Luxembourg Prime Minister and top eurozone fixer Jean-Claude Juncker told the European Parliament late Monday he has received “death threats” by mail from Greece.
“What can you say to the Greeks? It’s a good question I often ask myself, because I receive lots of letters from Greeks — including death threats,” Juncker told lawmakers during an evening question-and-answer session in Strasbourg, France.
The head of the Eurogroup of finance ministers from the 17-state euro currency area, who is a leading figure in negotiations over a second bailout for Greece in just over a year, revealed the threats three days after talks with Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou over new aid for Athens.
