Greek FinMin Varoufakis Steps Down

Greek Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis has announced he will be stepping down from his position. He published the information on his personal blog, explaining the situation. "Minister No More!" he also wrote on Twitter.

His statement came in after the Greek referendum demonstrated that close to 62% of voters revoke the proposal of creditors for austerity measures and fiscal discipline.
