The former finance minister also appeared as a guest on Australian Broadcasting Corporation's "Late Night Live" radio show, where he called Monday's deal "the new Treaty of Versailles."
Echoing a popular sentiment on social media, Varoufakis said the deal was an attempt at removing Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras from power and likened it to the country's 1967 military coup.
"In the coup d’état the choice of weapon used in order to bring down democracy then was the tanks," said Varoufakis. "Well, this time it was the banks. The banks were used by foreign powers to take over the government. The difference is that this time they’re taking over all public property."
