Earlier this week, the Spanish Finance Minister Luis de Guindos said a third debt package for Greece was being negotiated, though his ministry said a third bailout was "hypothetical." De Guindos later said Greece would need a new accord or program if it does not regain access to market financing by June. He said Greece could need as much as 50 (b) billion euros (56 billion US dollars) in further assistance. Varoufakis rejected talk of a third deal. "I don't know who said this, or who presented all this as a debate, even using specific sums. This is as far from the truth as it can get," he said late Wednesday.
