A Greek EU Commissioner warned that the country's participation in the euro was under threat, though the prime minister insisted Wednesday his government would see through new austerity measures and keep Greece in the joint currency.
The EU's Fisheries Commissioner, Greece's Maria Damanaki, warned that "The scenario of removing Greece from the euro is now on the table."
"I am obliged to speak openly. We have a historical responsibility to see the dilemma clearly: either we agree with our borrowers on a program of tough sacrifices with results ... or we return to the drachma," she said in a statement on her personal website.
Damanaki does not represent the Greek government, but she is part of the ruling Socialist party.
