he's publishing material that the institutions sought to obscure and spin
Interesting. Instead of "the institutions", here in the USA we used to say "the Man"[1]. As in "the Man is keeping me down". Sadly, that phrase is from the '60s and appears to have fallen out of the vernacular.
The problem is that in his blog we're only seeing Varoufakis own spin on the situation. What is he himself obscuring? It's hard for us who are looking in from a distance to keep up.

- handelaar 11y agoNo. By "the institutions" he's referring to the ECB and the EU's Council of Ministers, specifically, and making a claim about those institutions that's objectively true (regardless of the merits of his own arguments here).
- lbruder 11y agoThere are always three sides in every argument: The ones arguing, and the truth.
- gonvaled 11y agoUsually The Truth (in human matters) doesn't exist. Most human matters are nonsensical - or so complex that there is no way of knowing "The Truth".
