According to a well-informed source insisting on anonymity, a backup plan is being in progress in case Greece decides to exit from the euro area. Germany has set about developing the emergency scenario. Being Greece's largest creditor, Germany is worried that millions of Greek clients will rush to banks to rescue their savings if the snap election brings Greece’s eurozone’s membership to an end. Massive requests to close their accounts and withdraw cash threaten Europe with a serious banking crisis. So, billions of euros have to be injected to prevent the worst scenario. In this context, Germany is considering letting Greece leave the bloc if the troubled country decides to renege on the terms of its bailout loans. Greece's left-wing Syriza party is leading in polls ahead of the snap elections scheduled for January 25. In the course of his pre-election campaign, Syriza's leader Alexis Tsipras promised to demand debt relief, restructuring payment obligations, and easing austerity measures imposed by international creditors. In case the country gives up austerity measures, the IMF and other eurozone’s governments will refuse to provide Athens with another €10 billion bailout. So, Greece is being caught between the devil and the deep blue sea. On the one hand, Syriza is riding a wave of popular discontent over the tax increases and cuts to public spending, wages and pensions that were demanded in the bailout deal. On the other hand, Greece still needs financial support to pay its debts. Importantly, despite grave risks, German government spokesman Steffen Seibert stated that Germany's policy "has been to strengthen the eurozone including Greece. This has not changed. "
