US Senator Bernie Sanders and Greece’s former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis are partnering to build an international progressive coalition. Radio Sputnik’s John Kiriakou recently spoke with Varoufakis in Athens about the duo’s plans.
"I'm anti-Trump, but I'm equally anti-Clinton. As you know, I'm a friend of Bernie Sanders. We are starting something together now. On the 31st of November, Bernie and I are going to launch what we call Progressive International," Varoufakis, who served as finance minister from January 2015 to July 2015 for Greece's government led by the left-wing Syriza party.
Domestically, polls have demonstrated the Vermont socialist to consistently be the most popular politician in the United States. In the same poll, Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell scored a favorability rating of 33 percent.
