Acting Dutch finance minister and head of Eurogroup, Jeroen Dijsselbloem, appears to have had a breakdown since the Dutch elections last week crushed his parties’ dreams. Instead of staying home and licking his wounds, the head of the eurozone’s finance ministers, has come under attack after refusing to apologize for saying southern European countries had wasted money on “drinks and women” in the run up to the eurozone crisis.

In comments reported in the Spanish press, Mr Dijsselbloem told FAZ:
During the crisis of the euro, the countries of the North have shown solidarity with the countries affected by the crisis.
As a Social Democrat, I attribute exceptional importance to solidarity. [But] you also have obligations.
You can not spend all the money on drinks and women and then ask for help.
