Uproar in Athens over "secret Grexit plan"

It is not clear how seriously the plan, attributed to former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis and former Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis (pictured above from left to right) were considered by the government. Both ministers were sacked earlier this month.

Opposition parties in Greece are demanding answers following media reports of a secret government plan in Athens to leave the euro. The plan allegedly involved hacking into accounts and arresting the top central banker.

However, the reports have been seized on by opposition parties, which demanded an explanation on Monday.

"The revelations that are coming out raise a major political, economic and moral issue for the government which needs in-depth examination," according to a joint statement by the center-right New Democracy party, the centrist To Potami and the Socialist Pasok parties, all of which backed Tsipras in parliamentary votes on the bailout this month.

The plan involved the reintroduction of the drachma, the conservative Kathimerini newspaper reported on Sunday, and was discussed during a conference call with investors on July 16. Extracts of the call were also published in the media.
