"I think that Wolfgang Schaeuble is wrong and is even getting into conflict with his deep European volition," Sapin said.
"If you allow a temporary departure that means: every other country that finds itself in difficulties will want to get out of the affair via an adjustment of its currency," Sapin added.
However, French Minister stated the principle of the monetary union consists in "structural reforms which reinforce competitiveness and lead to efforts at budget balancing."
As UNIAN reported earlier, former German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble was ready to provide Greece with EUR 50 billion in case the country would leave the eurozone.
Schaeuble was reported to assume that the leftist Syriza government would favor leaving the eurozone, a move consistent with its ideology. And he was prepared to put money on the table to encourage it to take this step.
