The Germans overdid it this afternoon, as the country's stock market blogs circulated a rumor about bankruptcy and payment stoppage in Greece during the weekend. And the whole setting was made even more dramatic by the fact that Bloomberg agency’s first issue was a report that cited anonymous government sources in Berlin, who said that Merkel's government has prepared a plan to reduce the losses of German banks from a Greek bankruptcy.

Answering questions from journalists about the bankruptcy rumors, Evangelos Venizelos said the following:

“It is not the first time we get this organized wave of 'rumors' on the alleged failure of Greece. This is a bad test game, an organized speculation, which is directed against the euro and the Eurozone as a whole. Greece’s basic choice and priority is the full implementation of the decisions of July 21 and of course, the full implementation of obligations arising from agreements with its institutional partners. This is the clear position of the Greek government that does not take into account any element of political cost. "
