Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis has resigned, saying he has been made unwelcome by some members of the Eurozone.<br /><br /> On a blog post enittled Minister No More! Varoufakis says he took the decision because of opposition to him from certain members of the Eurogroup of Eurozone finance ministers.<br /><br /> He said: “Soon after the announcement of the referendum results, I was made aware of a certain preference by some Eurogroup participants, and assorted ‘partners’, for my… ‘absence’ from its meetings; an idea that the Prime Minister judged to be potentially helpful to him in reaching an agreement. For this reason I am leaving the Ministry of Finance today.<br /><br /> “I consider it my duty to help Alexis Tsipras exploit, as he sees fit, the capital that the Greek people granted us through yesterday’s referendum.<br /><br /> “And I shall wear the creditors’ loathing with pride.”
