AMSTERDAM (Reuters) - The chair of the council of euro zone finance ministers dismissed as "completely false" the assertion by Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis that Greece was not far off reaching a deal with its creditors.
Jeroen Dijsselbloem, who is also Dutch finance minister, said that Greece faced a difficult future regardless of the outcome of Sunday's referendum on whether to accept the a bailout, and that difficult fiscal measures were unavoidable.
"Any politician who says that wouldn't be necessary in the case of a 'No' vote is making a fool of his people," said Dijsselbloem after a meeting of the Dutch cabinet on Friday.
