Bavaria’s Free Voters party, which wants Greek debt to be cut to zero and the drachma reintroduced, is ratcheting up pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel’s coalition partner to take a more euro-skeptic view.
The Free Voters oppose Europe’s bailout funds and became the first German parliamentary party to lodge a legal complaint against them in the nation’s highest court. The Federal Constitutional Court will announce its ruling on Sept. 12.
