Hundreds of people lined up in Barcelona to listen to former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis, with the pictures of the line bringing to mind scores of fans waiting in line to buy tickets to see their favorite band.
It is confirmed then that Varoufakis is a rock star, like he has been described by many since he appeared in Greek debt negotiations early in the year.
Varoufakis was a guest speaker in an event called “Discussing European Democracy” in Barcelona’s Born Cultural Center.
The countless tweets and photographs posted show that the outspoken university professor may have failed to help Greece’s economy recover, but he managed to build his status as a sought-after speaker and pop icon.
