The acrimonious public spat between Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras and German Finance Minister Wolfgang Schaeuble has gotten personal after the latter said in an interview that he felt "no compassion" for the Greek leader. The German minister said he could not understand why Tsipras accuses the German government of wanting to harm Greek pensioners – in reference to Berlin’s opposition to the government granting a Christmas bonus to low-income pensioners. Germany, he said, is trying to help Greece get back on its feet, adding that understanding "has its limits."
