Merkel: Schröder is to blame, Greece should not have been allowed into the eurozone

German Chancellor Angel Merkel believes that Greece should never have been allowed into the eurozone, thus once again confirming her extremely firm stance on finances in the EU.

The blame for the fact that the country that felt the crisis the most in the eurozone was placed on his predecessor, Gerhard Schroeder.

"Greece should never have been allowed to enter the Eurozone. Schroeder accepted them in 2001 and weakened the Stability Pact. Both decisions were fundamentally wrong and the starting point of our current troubles," Merkel said, Radio Free Europe reports.
