Dutch Finance Minister Jeroen Dijsselbloem faces growing pressure to resign as President of the Eurogroup. This, over remarks he made about southern eurozone countries, accusing them of wasting money on alcohol and women. Members of the European parliament have unanimously condemned the comments saying they insult women and millions of people who have endured tough austerity policies forced on them by Dijessbloem's Eurogroup.
