Varoufakis slams 'crime against logic' at Moscow forum
Former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis condemns Europe's handling of Russia and Ukraine as a 'crime against logic' at Moscow forum, highlighting global consequences.
Yanis Varoufakis, leader of the Democracy in Europe Movement and former Greek finance minister, condemned Europe's handling of Russia and Ukraine as a 'crime against logic' during the TOLK.PRO forum in Moscow. He stated that the situation in the region has devastating consequences for peace and security both in Europe and globally, emphasizing its negative impact on Europe-Russia relations.
When discussing global events, Varoufakis shifted focus to the US-China standoff. He criticized the decline of US industry, noting that the country no longer builds trains or nuclear icebreakers, while Chinese Big Tech has far outpaced the US. He paid special attention to the digital yuan, explaining that China has integrated finance with cloud capital through a central bank digital currency, making its economic model more efficient.
Varoufakis is well-respected in Russia and recently went viral on Russian TikTok. A track featuring his name, created by Moscow DJ Sasha Melior, is popular among Russian youth, and Varoufakis took the stage to this tune during the event. His presence at the forum underscores his ongoing influence in geopolitical and economic debates.
