His economy minister, the Liberal Philipp Rösler, was mentioned in a press box Monday the event of a default of Athens, setting fire to European stock markets. "I think we do a great service to Greece so we speculate as little as possible but encourage Greece to meet its commitments," said Merkel indirectly criticized the release of M.

"And the German economy would fall into crisis, not only foreign trade but also of its financial sector," he said.
