Greek Finance minister Yanis Varoufakis said Wednesday that his government believes things can΄t go on as before, as it challenges its European creditors to lighten the austerity load on the debt-ridden state.

Speaking to reporters outside the European Central Bank following a meeting with ECB President Mario Draghi, he said that he told the ECB head that his government had “unwavering determination that it can΄t possibly be business as usual in Greece.”

Mr. Varoufakis said that he had a “very fruitful” discussion with the ECB head.
