The leftist party of Yanis Varoufakis, a former finance minister and critic of the conservative government, said he had been charged based on admitting he had tried ecstasy once.

Mr. Varoufakis, a famously outspoken left-wing economist, author and critic of Greece’s conservative government, was charged with “promoting and advertising drugs,” according to his party, known as MeRA25, or the European Realistic Disobedience Front.

    Oh, it’s Yanis, that sucks but it’s expected. The man speaks a bit too honestly and is a bit too prosocial, the fact he hasn’t been sanctioned like Francesca is surprising.
