Yanis Varoufakis will appear at the Kilkenomics Festival
Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis gives a press conference on February 16, 2015 at the end of an Eurogroup finance ministers meeting at the European Council in Brussels. Eurozone ministers handed Greece an ultimatum to request an extension to its hated bailout program on February 16 after crunch talks collapsed, deepening a bitter stand-off that risks seeing Athens tumble out of the eurozone. Eurogroup head Jeroen Dijsselbloem said Greece had the rest of the week to request an extension to the programme, which expires at the end of the month, challenging Athens to cave on a dearly held position.
